Daily SG: 17 Jan 08

“but some of the Blogosphere is profound.. for many of them are speaking with voices that we have not been able to hear before.”[the boy who knew too much] This probably sums up what we are trying to do here. And it’s nice (if not vain) to think we had a hand in bringing some attention to articles like that, ..like a scribe we mark the sparks that dot the unfinished canvas… Although one might argue any form of non-machine aggregation can never truly be free from some level of bias, I’d like to think that here at least there is no taint of the white parade.

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?

- Waters, Gilmour

You Will Not Be Forgotten
Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam
5 Jan 1926 - 30 Sep 2008

For the sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast. And the heart must pause to breathe, and love itself have rest.
