Reality Check

I was experiencing more existential blog angst, feeling like my blog posts weren't of enough significance, feeling like I needed to dig deeper, that either I needed to show more raw emotion or more awareness of the world around me. Taking a lesson from the season, I meant to wither away all the extended pieces of my psyche, drawing back into some most essential self. I felt this blog needed to have purpose, focus, concentration.

Then I read about the best justification for a blog I've ever seen. (As if this could be justified! Ha!)

Modified aphorism of the day: Life Blogging is too important to be taken seriously.

Things That Catch My Eye on the Way to Work

A girl on a bicycle, coughing like a smoker.

There is always a woman (not the same woman, just some woman) walking around the CBD with wheeled luggage.

Two crows, sitting on the telephone line that stretches across Holly, comfortably preening their feathers above the morning traffic; symmetrically posed, they are made sharper and blacker and glistening by the bright blue of the early autumn sky.

A woman stopping at a green light on Commercial.
