thog mentioned!! even independently from thog, i think this is my fav nonfiction you have posted so far, very relatable with the tension between the stability/order we are indoctrinated to believe life is supposed to be and the churning forward entropy it actually is

this voices a lot of sentiments i've had before but, in an unexpected easy breath, am momentarily released from. still a treat to see them written down so gracefully

i dont recognise the feelings in me but i do adore your writing from them.

if this is where your words spring from then it is a deep deep and life filled primal source.
