- That line in the distance which defines the boundary between the Heavens and the Earth is not even a line– actually it is an arc, so i have fooled myself already. I imagine this as a border constituting what i can and cannot reach with all the lofty fixtures of space high above and the rocks below— my endurance erodes between them. I admit to having grown fond of the certainty this divide represents because it renders the scope of my options unambiguous. Still, i fancy some rungs– a way to step up so i can place hopes just above that threshold, but having attempted to measure the height of "Jacob's Ladder", i realize success could mean my condemnation to a hopelessness below... s jones 2021 .
