Status Updates From Night

“It was said that people mattered, which they did, and we lost their shine.
It was also said that god is light, so that nobody and nothing could see him. But some did. Therefore he is not light.
He resides in night. There’s an affinity between the functions of our brain and those of god. He is memory, and the brain is an agent borrowing that memory, and its functions in total darkness. Like everything divine.”

“In its will to protect the living from the maddening effect of a constant present, nature created memory. An escape. A rest.”

“Standing trees sleep in this forest that created the night when the moon was looking elsewhere.”

The order of things is not the one of the first experience of
them: memory sews together events that hadn't previously
met. It reshuffles the past and makes us aware that it is
doing so.

Shadows strangely resemble yesterday's trees, yesterdays and
tomorrows being the walls of our prisons.
