aways we go!

packing and unpacking and packing and unpacking, supreme court decisions, conferences in St. Louis and tornado warning alarms, indescribable dinners at Tibetan cafes that still exist, moving Kate to PGH from BKLYN, packing and unpacking and packing and unpacking...

This comes from k8face - who, lovingly, listened to me complain for nigh on umpteen weeks about my job and still felt it was a good thing I was doing. Also, that I am an idealist.
Which is, I agree, about the end goal, and not the process. 

(Even more notably, this is the month of the move...)

Into every life...

I was once trying describe the reasons that a person, in an abject state, may use to hold on to life. By which I mean those little things that become important in the dark of night, that compel in the moment of pain, that consume and focus the mind away from despair.

There are some that are obvious, to surmount pain you make an itemized list, the next entry, the one after that. You focus on the immediate struggle not the impossible goal. When I started to describe tasking one's self to survive the winter by focusing on seeing one last spring I started to cry.

"... like a little paper boat in the wind..."

I lost a few months there.

So it goes.

"But data we shall have of round worlds and spindle-shaped world, and world shaped like a wheel; worldes like titanic pruning hooks; worlds linked together by streaming filaments; solitary worlds, and worlds in hordes: tremendous worlds and tiny worlds: some of them made of material like the material of this earth; and worlds that are geometric super-constructions made of iron and steel - "
- Charles Fort, The Book of the Damned.
