For the past couple of days was reading off and on the “Labyrinths” by Jorge Louis Borges. I think I read it a long time ago, or maybe started but stopped along the way. It’s not an easy text. He creates all those arguable realities which may exist, but probably not in a way you would imagine… :)

Excerpt:
“”” “Centuries and centuries of idealism have not failed to influence reality. In the most ancient regions of Tlön, the duplication of lost objects is not infrequent. Two persons look for a pencil; the first finds it and says nothing; the second finds a second pencil, no less real, but closer to his expectations. These secondary objects are called hrönir and are, though awkward in form, somewhat longer. Until recently, the hrönir were the accidental products of distraction and forgetfulness.”

And so forth.

Not an easy text to follow. But it’s strangely enjoyable - and kind of meditative. So, thanks.
