Well, I have recently missed this list, now returned from a trip up north.
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.
