My body is a time machine
My brain, it’s brain, it’s enemy
Fighting against itself
Today is another step in time
A footprint in the snow
Disappeared in its melt
Yesterday, or nineteen seventy-nine
A heartbeat never remembered
A breath never recalled
The curse of conscious man
A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions – as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A pleasant day with coffee, cats, some weeding, some reading. I was pleasantly surprised to get a couple of hundred dollars from Bandcamp sales and now thinking about what to spend that on!
I talked with Hayden for 45 minutes about this, that and the other. He sounded pretty good, considering he has Covid. Just a little throaty cough.
I finished watching Trailer Park Boys and feel a little disconsolate that there’s no more. It’s easy to like the, somewhat detestable characters because they have a never-give-up attitude and always display their love for each other, through thick and thin. It’s interesting to consider their virtues/values hold them together, whilst others, of a supposed higher morality, often act quite the opposite, despite the words that come out of their mouths.
Amy was happy to be around her friends there today, comparing their positive attitudes with her childhood friends here. She feels much more connected in Australia. Her friends don’t do much to help themselves, in constant struggle and believing in prayers, temples and fortune will arrive if they just do nothing a little harder! We sigh.
