The Nature of Infinity (by William Blake)
The nature of infinity is this: That everything has its
Own Vortex, and when once a traveller thro' Eternity
Has pass'd that Vortex, he perceives it roll back behind
His path, into a globe itself infolding like a sun,
Or like a moon, or like a universe of starry majesty,
While he keeps onwards in his wondrous journey on the earth,
Or like a human form, a friend with whom he liv'd benevolent.
As the eye of man views both the east & west encompassing
Its vortex, and the north & south with all their starry host,
Also the rising sun & setting moon he views surrounding
His corn-fields and his valleys of five hundred acres square,
Thus is the earth one infinite plane, and not as apparent
To the weak traveller confin'd beneath the moony shade.
Thus is the heaven a vortex pass'd already, and the earth
A vortex not yet pass'd by the traveller thro' Eternity.

Made another change to the travel setup. Swapped out a 0.48L thermos for a "portable kettle" and a 8 fl oz wide mouth hydroflask. I realized that I really like to be able to have a hot beverage everyday, the routine grounds me in the midst of travel. But I don't necessarily want caffeine/sugar, and it takes a lot of time and money to find that every day while traveling. And don't get me started on the kettles in hotels. Even in fancy hotels, the Nespresso machines/kettles are often not properly cleaned.
As you can see, the 450mL kettle is not much bigger than the 480mL Zojirushi thermos, but it weighs almost twice as much. I got the wide mouth thermos because it's much easier to clean, which is helpful since I'll be having things other than water in it.
In a pinch, I can blanch some kale or other greens with this setup, which can be nice because I often find when I'm traveling, I don't get enough greens. This change adds considerable bulk and weight to my setup, but hopefully it will be worth it for me. 3 replies
