During this journeying, on the train, I attempted to treat myself to a promised (delicious) reading of the Heracltus Seminars (with Heidegger and Fink), but this was a frustrated temptation due to the family just behind me, equally rushing to the north but a few feet behind me, screaming for a solid two hours only punctuated during the brief desultory silences from this awful family by the even more irksome excretions of so-called mobile-phoners as they incessantly proclaim loudly that they are still [my life already!] on the train. And so Heidegger and Fink and Heraclitus are sadly pressed back into my travel bag next to the spare pairs of socks and knickers that I shall not wear during my stay... So I am returned to the gently welcoming environs of Sandwich and need to settle back into this recess of quiet before properly responding to those I have left hanging: and I shall, Rene, Allen, Kenneth, John Foster. I certainly shall not respond to the heavy hammerings and murderous axe-wieldings of Jud, neither to his purple witless noise nor to his amBushing silences [both functioning like those screaming children and deathly boring mobile mob-rulers on the moving carriages rushing up north]. I have tried to think along the lines of my Sisyphean Heraclitian Fragment project whereupon I am determined not to translate/interpret/render/think "physis kryptesthai philei" as "nature likes to hide"; it seems to me that it shall be necessary to read and think other fragments in order to begin properly rendering this central one; contrary to the unthinking chatterings and scribblings of some [might such sit comfortably under Heraclitus' "polloi"?], there is not one or several final answers to this questioning of Heraclitus' Fragment, rather the journey shall reveal (hopefully) and bring forth something -- some thinking -- otherwise unsaid in the saying. For now I leave the list with an experiment, a temporary stationing to sur-pass: opening-shining-emerging comes to [be-longs with] closing-darkening-submerging [i.e., they be-long to-gather in the thinging steered by the logos] regards m. --MS_Mac_OE_3125901703_712693_MIME_Part
