will to master/June Night

I thought there was no coffee. This was sad. Then I found secret coffee and suddenly all was well in world. (COFFEECOFFEECOFFEE) I don't have a problem.

So yeah. What kind of a day is it when Foucault is some nice, light reading? A damn good one, that's what! I'm working on my much-delayed summer project. I got seeeeeriously behind on it, so today I've been catching up. Also, I may have broken my brain. Time will tell. And hey, to pass said time, lets ponder this:

"The will to mastery becomes all the more urgent the more technology threatens to slip from human control." - Martin Heidigger (The Question Concerning Technology)

June Night, by Sara Teasdale

Oh Earth, you are too dear to-night,
How can I sleep while all around
Floats rainy fragrance and the far
Deep voice of the ocean that talks to the ground?

Oh Earth, you gave me all I have,
I love you, I love you, -- oh what have I
That I can give you in return --
Except my body after I die?
