The underground railroad maintained no lines to speak of. The decoys in negro dress, the secret codes in the back pages of newspapers.

This is what's happening: together we are descending the stairs of the heart, which lead to the sources. (It is a secret staircase. I knew it existed. Which is why I avoided it. Because it leads to the other-life, deep, underground, the fluvial, the painful.) We are in the process of descending into the depths of the heart. To where bodies communicate with each other.
~ Helene Cixous
It is only when we welcome such spirits and give them entrance that they may reveal themselves to us.

Deepnet. It's Internet stuff that doesn't register on surface search sites like Google.

~ James Patterson
