  • Don’t I?

    “I do exist, don’t I? It often feels as if I’m not here, that I’m a figment of my own imagination. There are days when I feel so lightly connected to the earth that the threads that tether me to the planet are gossamer thin, spun sugar. A strong gust of wind could dislodge me completely, and I’d lift off and blow away, like one of those seeds in a dandelion clock.”

    — Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

    — George Santayana

  • Non-being/Being

    “Every day includes much more non-being than being.”
