Just reading some code...

;; Plumber Bob was not from Seattle, my grey city, for rainy Seattle is a
|
|
;; city of interiors, a city of the self-diminished. When I moved here one
|
|
;; sunny June I was delighted to find that ducks and geese were common in
|
|
;; the streets. But I hoped to find a loon or two, and all I found were
|
|
;; ducks and geese. I wondered about this; I wondered why there were no
|
|
;; loons in Seattle; but my confusion resulted from my ignorance of the
|
|
;; psychology of rain, which is to say my ignorance of diminished modes.
|
|
;; What I needed, and lacked, was a way to discover they were there.

|
;; A human mind is a Black Forest of diminished modes. Some are dangerous;
|
|
;; most of the mind of an intimate is a secret stranger, and these diminished
|
|
;; modes are rendered more unpredictable by their long isolation from the
|
|
;; corrective influence of interaction with reality. The student of history
|
|
;; learns that this description applies to whole societies as well. In some
|
|
;; ways the self-diminished are better able to discern the night worker.
|
|
;; They are rendered safer by their heightened awareness of others'
|
|
;; diminished modes, and more congenial by the spare blandness of their own
|
|
;; mode lines. To some people rain is truly depressing, but others it just
|
|
;; makes pensive, and, forcing them indoors where they may not have the
|
|
;; luxury of solitude, teaches them to self-diminish. That was what I had
|
|
;; not understood when I was searching for loons among the ducks and geese.
|
|
;; Loons come to Seattle all the time, but the ones that like it learn to be
|
|
;; silent, learn to self-diminish, and take on the colors of ducks and geese.
|
|
;; Now, here a dozen years, I can recognize them everywhere, standing quietly
|
|
;; in line with the ducks and geese at the espresso counter, gazing placidly
|
|
;; out on the world through loon-red eyes, thinking secret thoughts.
