la experiencia

"I picture experience as this tide that washes over everything, like the plane of water flowing across flatland you see in those Discovery channel documentaries about the formation of the earth’s topography. We move with the front edge of that tide, where everything we come across is more or less on the same level. But over time, little grooves start forming where the water’s been. Gradually those crevices deepen, their emptiness burrowing ever downward, until you look back one day and you see canyons with odd little rock formations still jutting out. “Why these?” You wonder. “Why are these particular ones still standing?” They have to mean something, right?"

– Jack Cheng

"At the same time, for each, there was a disjunction between what he loved and what most people loved him for."
