I re-opened a blog site from ancient history (2007-2008) and made it public again because one of my new readers requested access to what had been marked a private blog (or maybe not, but it is back “live” regardless).
It is just a catalog of quotes and poetry that caught my fancy, namely of a Taoism or Zen Buddhism bent. There’s nothing terribly exciting there unless you are into those kinds of things, or if you want a peek into where my mind was about a year before I ended up choosing sobriety as a more enlightened path than wonton drunkenness.
Check it out, if you are so inclined: Useless Tree
I originally made the site private primarily to stop a reader from demanding new posts when I had decided I was no longer in the mood to be enlightened. And then I never got back to posting on it or making the site public again when that mood passed away.

This is a treasure trove of quotes. And even one by Lewis Carroll. I’ve just started going through these. And will go through them some more. Thanks for sharing.
Heh. Enjoy it.
I was off on a tangent back then, sometimes alcohol-fueled, sometimes just trying to wrap my head around complex philosophical ideas. Sometimes, I was just (badly) practicing Zen.
If someone gets something positive out of it, that would the best that I could hope for.
I enjoyed the quotes I read. I think I looked through about twenty of them, or so. Nice collection!
Thanks! It was a thing at the time. I’m not sure why 😅
