Caring passionately about something isn't against nature, and it isn't against human nature. It's what we're here to do.

Make connections; let rip; and dance where you can.

He is careful of what he reads, for that is what he will write. He is careful of what he learns, for that is what he will know.

Time is the continuous loop, the snakeskin with scales endlessly overlapping without beginning or end, or time is an ascending spiral if you will, like a child's toy Slinky.

Self-consciousness is the curse of the city and all that sophistication implies.

We are here to abet creation and to witness to it, to notice each other's beautiful face and complex nature so that creation need not play to an empty house.

Dan Gerber is one of our finest living poets.
