Um... I'm sorry.
This relationship just isn't working for me.
I'm at www.dailypreciousness.org now. So change that bookmark.
There's something that Cayce Pollard was telling me last night that stuck with me. It was about the future.
"We have no idea, now, of who or what the inhabitants of our future might be. In that sense, we have no future. Not in the sense that our grandparents had a future, or thought they did. Fully imagined culture futures were the luxury of another day, one in which 'now' was of some greater duration. For us, of course, things can change so abruptly, so violently, so profoundly, that futures like our grandparents' have insufficient 'now' to stand on. We have no future because our present is too volatile."
That volatility has shaken down the walls for me recently. I am homeless. Or soon will be. My lens to the future is smudged with the grime of the 'now' in such a way that it's difficult to see even next week.
Not a pretty picture.
Ugh. Time to decompress. I think I'll just go review the footage and read William's blog.
