Letting the days go by

I've been wondering today: when did I decide that I had to be the one to do absolutely everything? Why do I have to do every experiment that occurs to me. Why do I have to write every article? Why is it so important that I have a chance to write another book? Is this all really about the fear of death? Or is it about something else?

No clue.

Life is just too difficult to understand. I want to be everywhere, think everything, taste everything, say everything, sleep with everyone, experience every sensation. None of this makes much sense, nor is it doing me much good.

I want everything to stop. Just even for 15 minutes. I want to stand under old hemlock trees again. I want to go to Mali.

I'm sorry I've been absent.

It seems you're answering every question you ask, yet don't know it.

You need to go to Mali, and back to the sea where I first 'met' you and back, and back and back....

I suppose I recognize what you keep saying because it's all too familiar.

Look over your past writing. See where it takes you.

It's not your age talking.

(Thanks for lurking....)
