I had something else in mind, yesterday, and the day before. Yesterday evening it rewrote itself, and this morning that evolved a bit further, and suddenly my thoughts felt clear, clear like water, like rainfall, like a sea breeze. I expected to sit down tonight, and write. Ideally, words would tumble one after the other in some sort of orderly progression conveying some meaning that at least bears a resemblance to what I think I thought this morning.

Life is a 24/7 university, with an ever-changing lesson plan. I found me facing myself unexpectedly, and finding where there might once have been chaos, there is some small moment of calm these days. Nice enough. A bit humbling, too, considering the circumstances, and I’m without much to say. A particular metaphor has been with me a day or two now.

However immovable the stone...

However immovable the stone…

I will be like water.
