the fact that i’m no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don’t; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

Walker, your footsteps
are the road, and nothing more.
Walker, there is no road,
the road is made by walking.
Walking you make the road,
and turning to look behind
you see the path you never
again will step upon.
Walker, there is no road,
only foam trails on the sea.
— Border of a Dream: Selected Poems of Antonio Machado, translated by Willis Barnstone

All prose is fiction
“It occurs to me that to read everything, including the news, like a novel—to be cognizant and accepting of discontinuities and conflicts, of multiple interpretations, of symbol that sits alongside more objective truths—is maybe the skill we most need to employ in navigating the world of news today, when there is so much news, and so few ways of making it all cohere.”

Moved janusworx.com from #Namecheap to #Porkbun today.
This is the first time in my entire working life, since ’97 that a domain transfer and every single associated activity has gone off without a hitch.
It’s always #DNS, but sometimes miracles do happen!
