So much of my sense of who i am is tied to mothering. when they left home, i fell into a huge, empty, black hole. your children are grown and your career has slowed down - all the stuff that took up so much attention is gone, and you're left with expansive time and space.

But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

Well, congress gave us a billion dollars to dig the hole, this gigantic hole. bigger, much bigger than the hole in geneva, switzerland. then they canceled the machine and gave us a second billion dollars to fill up the hole. two billion dollars to dig a hole and fill it up. that is the wisdom of the united states congress and it really makes you wonder: is there intelligent life on the earth? certainly not in the united states congress.

I, however, like black. it is a color that makes me comfortable and the color with which i have the most experience. in the darkest darkness, all is black. in the deepest hole, all is black. in the terror of my addicted mind, all is black. in the empty periods of my lost memory, all is black. i like black, goddammit, and i am going to give it its due.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

When a man is forced into early retirement, he is often being 'given up for a younger man.' being forced into early retirement can be to a man what being 'given up for a younger woman' is for a woman... why do many men get more upset by retirement than women do from the empty nest when their children leave home? when females retire from children, they can try a career; when a man retires from a career, his children are gone.

Good demeter mothering keeps a child in the heat and passion of life which immortalize and establish soulfulness. mothering involves not only physical survival and achievement—demeter's grain and fruit—it is also concerned with guiding a child to his or her unknown depths and the mystery of fate.

Natural play strengthens children's self-confidence and arouses their senses-their awareness of the world and all that moves in it, seen and unseen.

Our holiday food splurge was a small crate of tangerines, which we found ridiculously thrilling after an eight-month abstinence from citrus.... lily hugged each one to her chest before undressing it as gently as a doll. watching her do that as she sat cross-legged on the floor one morning in pink pajamas, with bliss lighting her cheeks, i thought: lucky is the world, to receive this grateful child. value is not made of money, but a tender balance of expectation and longing.

Instead of trying to come up and pontificate on what literature is, you need to talk with children, to teachers, and make sure they get poetry in the curriculum early.

I want a girl because i want to bring her up so that she shan't make the mistakes i've made. when i look back upon the girl i was i hate myself. but i never had a chance. i'm going to bring up my daughter so that she's free and can stand on her own feet. i´m not going to bring a child into the world, and love her, and bring her up, just so that some man may want to sleep with her so much that he's willing to provide her with board and lodging for the rest of her life.
