"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

Good Company
Chris Waddington sent this photo of a friend's Montana library where Querencia keeps good company...
Steve, Library here in Austin, neighborhood library, small place, Querencia was on the shelf next to Ciorans A Short History of Decay...I remember Jim Harrisons fondness for the latter, its several mentions in his novella Revenge and thought, well it fits in a loopy way.
My mistake, its the novella THE MAN WHO GAVE UP HIS NAME by Harrison. Been awhile since I read the story. Funny, after all the years I finally know how to pronounce Cioran
