    Turtles!
    Jun 26 2025

    This is not just about turtles, it's about memorization, persistence and meaning making.

    Also, here's the poem Turtle, by Kay Ryan

    Who would be a turtle who could help it?

    A barely mobile hard roll, a four-oared helmet,

    she can ill afford the chances she must take

    in rowing toward the grasses that she eats.

    Her track is graceless, like dragging

    a packing-case places, and almost any slope

    defeats her modest hopes. Even being practical,

    she's often stuck up to the axle on her way

    to something edible. With everything optimal,

    she skirts the ditch which would convert

    her shell into a serving dish. She lives

    below luck-level, never imagining some lottery

    will change her load of pottery to wings.

    Her only levity is patience,

    the sport of truly chastened things.

    Finish that thing (Iets bijzonder)
    Sep 26 2024

    Ryan talks the importance of finishing work, and to prove the point he shares a rap song he made a few years ago, that actually turned out to be pretty good. Finish your things. Not all of them, of course.
