From Ursula K. Le Guin's Carrier Bag of Theory


The thing to put things in, the container for the thing contained


A leaf a gourd a shell a net a bag a sling a sack a bottle a pot a box a container


bag/belly/box/house/medicine bundle


Intricately woven nets which when laboriously unknotted are seen to contain one blue pebble, an imperturbably functioning chronometer

Telling the time on another world, and a mouse's skull; full of beginnings without ends, of initiations, of losses, of transformations and translations, and far more tricks than conflicts, far fewer triumphs than snares and delusions; full of space ships that get stuck, missions that fail, and people who don't understand.

This womb of things to be and tomb of things that were, this unending story


How the missiles will fall on the Evil Empire


this womb of things to be and tomb of things that were, this unending story


a net woven of your own hair
