“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

50 000

Finishing the first draft of Dark Ecology today.

It's exactly the length I wanted it to be without trying.

I'm so happy about it all. Putting it together has been a slowly accelerating process.

It began with being haunted by the idea in 2004. Then disjecta membra awkwardly scuttled together. This melancholy pile was set aflame with passion in January this year.

The flames roared then died dorm a bit. Then yours truly fell through them into a joy sky.

What started with logic has ended with magic. What started with sadness has ended with sexuality.
