Yes, I pause my posting at 1492 as a moment of tribute to Columbus. I then realized that I'm discombobulated as usual; the quest for the Holy Grail is not the same as the quest for a new route to Cathay.
I accept chaos. I am not sure whether it accepts me. I know some people are terrified of the bomb. But then some people are terrified to be seen carrying a modern screen magazine. Experience teaches us that silence terrifies people the most.
When I question the value of my continued existence, you remind me that I am a valuable person who enhances your life and the lives of those who love me.
