How to Catch a Mole: And Find Yourself in Nature

by Marc Hamer

I prefer unanswered questions. At the end of the answers there is usually a person who enjoys the power of appearing to know. I have come to like things that are left unfinished. It’s the question that shines the light, that seeks. The answer’s often just a dim reflection of the vastness of the question. There are no answers that satisfy. This is a small life, and everything comes to nothing in the end. I like that. I like the idea of smallness, and the wonder of basic human things.

I am tired of looking for hidden things; the things that matter are all there, just to be had, lying on the surface. The fragments that I can hold and carry with me. The hidden things can remain where they are, because their truth too is hidden and vague and unfathomable to be of any daily value.
