My name is Mills Baker; I write about love, culture, art, religion, mental illness, philosophy, memory, politics and the rather random.

History of world-history power not opposed to endlessness of sky. There are two ways of thinking about time as it exists for humans: linearly and cyclically. Both happen to be accurate, strangely; both are descriptive and useful, both from the individual level -where we are both Sisyphean and Odyssean- to the historical -which seems both to be endless cycles and progressive improvement. We cannot even divide time into one or the other: it is always both. (From Photophobia; larger).
