n. a feeling of resonant connection with an author or artist you’ll never meet, who may have lived centuries ago and thousands of miles away but can still get inside your head and leave behind morsels of their experience, like the little piles of stones left by hikers that mark a hidden path through unfamiliar territory.
If someone wants to come into my house, he comes
If it pleases him, he stays
Myself, I refuse to plan ahead
And when I am asked
what I would take if my house was on fire
I would reply, the fire
