The Trace
Posted in Self-Reference on February 22nd, 2010 by DanielThe trace is everywhere. I see it now and see it clearly. It’s the amp that sits in my fireplace right now, it’s the towel I put in the laundry today. Indeed, I’ve always seen it, I just didn’t know what to call it. The photo of the cat on my computer desktop is the trace of a trace. The word and the concept are beautiful, and they work to describe what it is they are meant to in the most effective way possible. Thanks Levinas, I guess I owe you one.
At some point in the coming weeks I am going to move this blog elsewhere, probably just over to a regular wordpress blog, spend some time re-organizing it, and probably re-posting some old travel writings, now long out of sync.
