Daily Extractions
The following blog is an exercise in finding significance in “random” words. Each day, a title and sentence will be blindly chosen by QC from whatever book, magazine, webpage, or other text source happens to be within grasp. No premeditation will color these posts, they will simply serve as acts of synchronicity, divination, or abstract poetry. What do today’s title and sentence say about you and your existence in this very moment? How do these micro samplings hold value when they are isolated, out of context, and spliced together? QC looks forward to your comments! Site Comments →
