22 | EVERYTHING CHANGES OR EVERYTHING | ||
23 | STAYS THE SAME | ||
24 | |||
25 | First, a history: I was writing my | ||
26 | thoughts in a book. I got a typewriter | ||
27 | and typing things in a book | ||
28 | became impossible. I began typing | ||
29 | on 4x6 notecards. I ran out of | ||
30 | ribbon in my typewriter. I wrote | ||
31 | on the 4x6 notecards. I bought a | ||
32 | new ribbon and new notecards. Now | ||
33 | again I am typing on notecards. | ||
34 | What have I been typing? | ||
35 | Thoughts, impressions maybe, a log | ||
36 | of changes to my mental state. I | ||
37 | waited long enough and I began | ||
38 | recording them in the same way. If | ||
39 | I wait longer the ribbon will run | ||
40 | out again and I'll write again, on | ||
41 | notecards or in my book. The same | ||
42 | thoughts in different bodies. | ||
43 | That's what it means, "Every | ||
44 | thing changes or everything stays | ||
45 | the same." It might as well be | ||
46 | "and." Local differences add up to | ||
47 | global identities. It's a hoop, | ||
48 | right? And we keep going around | ||
49 | and we think it's flat but it's | ||
50 | round like the Earth. | ||
51 | ``` | ||

53 | Paul pushed his chair away from the Writing Desk and stared at the notecard. | ||
54 | He stood up, knocked his head on the lightbulb, swore. He pulled the notecard | ||
55 | from his typewriter and crumpled it up with his left hand. With his right hand | ||
56 | he reached in his pocket and pulled out his cigarettes. He put one in his | ||
57 | mouth, threw the paper in the corner, grabbed his axe, went out into the | ||
58 | woods. | ||
