other-worlds relaxation breeze
There are times when we stop, we sit still. We listen and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.
spiritual memories moving
We spend most of our time and energy in a kind of horizontal thinking. We move along the surface of things....but, there are times when we must stop. We sit still. We lose ourselves in a pile of leaves or in its memory. We listen, and breezes from a whole other world begin to whisper.

christian two development
What stands most explicitly as critique in Nietzsche's late work in not a development from earlier interests but a return to two problems of enduring personal involvement for him, those of Wagner and of Christianity. Der Antichrist , to take one case, is not a response to a resuscitating public interest in Christian religion; it is primarily a renewed attempt to resolve for himself the question of piety.

The primary ambition of Nietzsche's critique of knowledge is ... to demonstrate that 'truths' are fictions masking moral commitments.

brothers clean few fires folks fought gone good homes tried wish
We've fought a few fires with our brothers from New Orleans. We've gone and tried to clean out some of the homes of folks down here, and I wish we could do more, but we're doing what we can. It's a good feeling. At least we're doing some good.
