Over the years, I’ve remained the same just as often as I have changed. I’ve lived through traumas that I have completely forgotten. I’ve been confided in and kept the secrets so long that I don’t even remember what they were. I’ve made plans, I’ve achieved goals and I’ve failed miserably. I still have more chances. I’ve connected. Seen into the depths of another person and still wondered who they actually were. I’ve disconnected. I’ve walked away and on to other things. This is not a closed circuit. Not yet.
“… imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it’s still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.”
—Douglas Adams
Repeat June 6, 2009
the delicate shifts
repeat (the delicate shifts) - recorded 6/6/2009: an old short song sets the tone for this day and the ones that came before and after.
“All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.”
