A DU Lament...

[Hekate]

11. I think we understand each other in this, Will

I have managed at last to carve out a few hours of joy each Friday, when I pick up my grandson after school and keep him overnight. I read and read and read to him. In the past couple of weeks it's been the Just So Stories, and I actually felt myself channelling Mehitabel the Cat when reading The Cat Who Walked by Himself, which was a remarkable experience.

I was angry at Bush et al. for 8 solid years, and it is hard to climb out of that hole. Too much dust and ashes in the mouth ends up choking a person. That bunch is not worth giving up my life for.

Nor is it worth giving up the time I have left on this Earth living in constant anger over the shortcomings of .... well, everything. As a depressive, it's already hard enough to carve out that small space just once a week.

Good post, Will.
