sabrinamariI've got to say that I'm really impressed with the way things fall apart. I know that birds of a feather flock together and all that, but still, the number of people around me sitting in the detritus of some part of their lives is, well, impressive.
It's like a giant hand swept across the landscape of my friendships and sent large numbers of people head over heels. Wow. The Tower as general background environment.
It's like that Eddie Izzard routine in which he talks about how difficult it is for human beings to grasp the concept of genocide. After one, two, or ten murders, we're almost...impressed. What do you say to a mass murderer?
"My, you must be busy! What does your diary look like? Death, death, death, breakfast. Death, death, death, lunch. I can't even get down to the gym in the morning! How do you do it?"
Luckily, in the scheme of things, The Tower is followed by The Star. Thank goodness. And at some point, you just have to laugh.

They need to chill.

Plus, shit is always going to come raining down at some time or another. Developing the resilience to cope with it all is a core life skill.

Date: 2012-01-18 05:48 pm (UTC)Well...maybe opportunities to laugh, to relax and to reflect. And amazingly, I have lots of people interested in providing just that.

And while I chose the above image for best expression of the idea, I know how much you love this artist, so I wanted to be sure you'd seen this:

Date: 2012-01-19 04:02 am (UTC)Day One: Rang bell, cat f*cked off. (Oh dear.)
Day Two: Rang bell, cat went and answered door.
Day Three: Rang bell, cat said he had eaten earlier. (Cheeky bugger.)
Day Four: Went to ring bell, but cat had stolen batteries.
Final Day – Day Five: Went and rang bell with new batteries, but cat put his paw on bell so it only made a thunk noise. Then cat rang his own bell.
I ate food.
