‘I know, I know, I know, I know,’ he said,

‘but you have to try to make sense of what comes.

Remember everything and keep your head.’

Seamus Heaney, in Station Island II

Call it what you will – a goof, the Dummy’s Latest or whatever. I tried to change the password on the previous blog and got locked out of it instead.

Garcia Marquez was the one who said it: a man (make that a human) has three lives: a public one, a private one, and a secret one.

For me, the most damaged of the three in the loss of access to those blogs: the secret one.  Same as for magic, there’s no explaining how secrets work.
