READIN

Jeremy's journal

If you think, "I breathe," the "I" is extra. There is no you to say "I." What we call "I" is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale or when we exhale.

🦋 Wanderer there is no path

O.M.G: look at the 77th quatrain (as numbered in this translation) of the Rubáiyát (written 800 years or more before the good Machado's birth):

Todos los seres tratan de recorrer el camino del conocimiento:
Aún lo buscan unos; otros afirman que ya lo encontraron.
Sin embargo, aún no se ha levantado la voz que un día clamará:
"No hay camino; no hay sendero".


Everyone tries to walk in the path of knowledge:
Some are still searching, some claim that they have found it.
But the voice has not yet spoken up which one day will cry out:
"There is no road; there is no path."

Another "path" reference is in quatrain 14: "No anda seguro por el Sendero el hombre que no ha recogido el fruto de la verdad. -- The man who has not reaped the fruit of truth will not walk easy down the Path."
