reductionism

(she) was always flustered and always trying to confine things into the shape of a phrase, like pouring water into a ewer, but great gouts of meaning and implication invariably ran over and slopped about and were lost.

Vita Sackville-West

this corner of the earth

Like every humming bird and bumblebee
Every sunflower, cloud and every tree
I feel so much a part of this
...
This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of this I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
