“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
- John Steinbeck, East of Eden
I got this ever-nagging need to remind people of that
basic concept of “choice”. So I chose a fitting name for my blog. “Thou
mayest”, you may or may not - as you got the choice you know! - now proceed to
become a part of my utter randomness.
You may or may not be looking
for a place where you can let your mind wander off to unfamiliar paths, or
paths where you could drown out sense by the senseless blabbering of crowds. If
you are, keep this in the vicinity of your mental compass and I’m sure we’ll
meet at one mental checkpoint or another.
This is not a place for
shoulds or musts. Keeping it surreal, we all dwell in possibility.
I welcome all you hitchhikers
to Timshel! May it be a time shell
of spur-of-the-moment-genius.
Here's a kick start to put things in perspective.
