In memoriam, Ursula LeGuin, 1929-2018:





Only in silence the word

Only in darkness, the light

Only in dying, life:

Bright the hawk's flight 

on the empty sky

- A Wizard of Earthsea






Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light, but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.

- The Tombs of Atuan
