Excruciatingly Large Things

Anticipation of The Forthcoming Metamorphosis:
A Reflection on Requiescence

→ by Danieru
There are times when the capacity for change overwhelms the identity of a subject. Qualities ascribed to an entity somehow anticipate their forthcoming metamorphosis, essentially prompting their own demise; manifold idiosyncrasies mutating themselves into a stasis of self annihilation:

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."

- Anatole France
It is therefore with a heavy heart that The Huge Entity ceases its excruciating pulsations for the foreseeable future. Come August all which has become my life will cease, replaced piecemeal by events, ideas and alternate realities I have not yet become capable of positing. As my Japanese life ends a new UK life will begin, with all manner of mental mine-fields to be navigated in the meantime. But fear not, for The Huge Entity will live on in new, exciting manifestations.

What demented demiurge will arise from this chrysalis of transfiguration not I, nor The Huge Entity itself, could tell you. But mark my words: there is much life in this old beast yet:

"By cosmic rule, as day yields night, so winter summer, war peace, plenty famine. All things change. Fire penetrates the lump of myrrh, until the joining bodies die and rise again in smoke called incense."

- Heraclitus
Because The Huge Entity Forum is devoid of a central figure-head its meanderings will continue unabated. I hope you find the ideas contained within tend to leave your brain as enriched as any large entity has done before. Please join in the discussions at your leisure. If you maintain a website yourself and fancy passing on a link I would be truly, truly grateful...

BRAIN BONUS: For all those of you in need of a daily fix of ideas, here is this site's category cloud to keep you occupied:


REAL-ALE BONUS: Since I will be on UK soil from August until at least October how's about a few drinks in your favourite tavern (on me of course)? If all goes according to plan I will be hitting up these locations and more over the course of my United Kingdom re-assimilation:

Huddersfield, Leeds, Wakefield, Manchester, Chester, Derby, Nottingham, Norwich, London, Bristol, Brighton, Edinburgh

See you UK-side soon!

hello there.
good luck with your new moves and projects!

and i am sure you will be doing what is best for your life and future.


i hope t has not to do with the growing epidemic in the cyberworld-The blog depression, that causes more and more bloggers to finding themselves disillusioned, dissatisfied, and they taking long breaks, and in many cases simply closing up shop.

~~~

you have an incredible place here and you have made my world so very interesting by your subjects and the way you delt with them.

Take care
till the next turn of wheel

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments Ms. Moon, always a pleasure...

I must admit, there has been a recent lull in my desire to blog, but I don't expect this will last long. I'm at quite a big turning point in my life and the very act of blogging about my usual weirdness seems somehow irrelevant. Couple this with a severe lack of inspiration recently and, well, I decided it was time for a reflective break in Huge proceedings.

I hope the blogging lull continues elsewhere in the blogsphere; more space for the really great bloggers to make a difference (is that really mean of me?)...

Thanks for thinking of me. I'll be checking in to your rich moooooon tapestry again real soon.

This reminds me of how depressing I find it to be when I stumble across a dead site, one that hasn't been touched in years.

I hope your own site eventually continues as it did before, and that your own motivation is reinspired.
