Eklektek is a writing repository relevant for both the diversity of the intended subjects and themes, and the philosophical aspect of thought independent of belonging. Ek is abbr for kenetic Energy; Energy stored in motion. The term lek is a type of animal mating behavior that creates a paradox within Darwinian theory... a contradiction within the "Fisherian Runaway" hypothesis explaining, among other things, the extra-ornate plumages of birds. The etymology of lek in this context is from a Swedish noun denoting pleasurable, less rule-bound games and activities, something akin to 'play'. In other fun: Logic. The smallest logic satisfying all conditions is K. Iff you enjoy weird mixed metaphors and non-sequitur then you are in the right place. Lastly, the letter K is thought to have originated from a hieroglyph of a hand, which must be found apropos to the art of writing.

Dream-Song

Sunlight, moonlight, Twilight, starlight- 
Gloaming at the close of day, And an owl calling, 
Cool dews falling In a wood of oak and may. 
Lantern-light, taper-light, Torchlight, no-light: 
Darkness at the shut of day, And lions roaring, 
Their wrath pouring In wild waste places far away. 
Elf-light, bat-light, Touchwood-light and toad-light, 
And the sea a shimmering gloom of gray, 
And a small face smiling In a dream's beguiling 
In a world of wonders far away.
