Miscellaneous

Grant, 1998:67
Arguably the most critical problem that any of us face is recognizing causal relationships in the complex systems in which we work and live. The systems approach... allows us to identify causal relationships in complex systems that cannot be identified by other methods of problem solving.


Tales from earthsea
the lone hawk in the sky
struggles against hte wind
here there is only light and darkness
he has the sky to himself
you who looked up to the sky and wept.

you who live alone
Let me hear your True name
For one day you'll be gone

As light dissolves into darkness
your song passes straight through my heart
let me sing it for you

Far, far above the clouds

a flacon flies alone souring in teh wind
I hear his lonely cry so sad must he be
riding the silenet wind a falcon flies alone
reaching out tith his wings graps the sky
riding the silent wind never he can rest
what iti swihtin my heart none can ever know
a heart like a falcon's is this very heart
what it is within my heart non can ever know
lonely falcon in the empty sky
i walk alone along deserted country roads
walking with me side by side you are always there
i feel your lonelines lonely you must be
crickets whispering in teh grass
you walk there by my side

but you never say a word never do you speak
what it is within imy heart non can ever know
here inside this heat that walks its path alone
what it is wihitn my heart none can ever know
the sadeness of one who always is alone


Dostoyevsky
They did not know that a new life is not given for nothing; that it has to be paid dearly for and only acquired by much patience and suffering and great future thoughts. But now a new history commences; a story of the gradual renewing of a man, of his slow, progressive regeneration, and change from one world to another - an introduction to the hitherto unknown realities of life. This may well form the theme of a new tale; the one we wished to offer the reader is ended.
