love rushes into the absence that is loss

even if the loss is that of love.

On your feet
In The checklist manifesto, two doctors are just exchanging strange cases. One thing that doesnt escape the reader is the call for quick action.
Its all Mediterranean
with words like Almohad. I have never heard of Maimonides. So the mappy looking cover jacket of
Maimonides in his world book was attractive.

Snail have teeth
is the first thing I learn in flipping through The sound of snail eating.
In the way the snail is reacting to the environment, even though it cant talk, you can already see the bond forming between the author and the snail.
In the way, the author Elizabeth Tova Bailey describes the motions of the snail,I can now imagine the world from a snail's point of view. at least in terms of magnitude. Say for example, if it were in the woods it would be lying on the floor with wooden chips its size, that would translate to me climbing over megalith stone tools my size. Last weekend at an Audubon migration celebration event, there was a question. Guess how much nectar would a hummingbird have if it were the size of a child? they had atleast 18 gallons of nectar. They said it needs 3 times its weight.
Somehow I never thought that all the slime it leaves on the trail has to be generated by itself. Even the dried flowers on the ground or shells of nuts though lie vastated, have to be all produced.
I was wondering what a pain it would be for such a tender body if has to travel on sharp bodies. the snail has won that battle too.

One way or another
When I saw To a mountain in Tibet, I wanted to read it for my love of mountains. Some day.
