brink - 9.19.24
anything can happen now. we’re on the brink of total chaos or maybe a little surcease, but I – I just keep smiling. Stiff upper lip and all that. life goes on and all that. It goes on in a strange way – with a sense of fear – for ourselves, for others.
And yet, you continue to buy underwear, to wash your car, maybe to go out for lunch, to make love, to sing, to read, to encourage others to go on living “normal” lives. You go to cafes, plays, movies. Some people feel guiltyour job is to they are living when so many people are dying, when towns are burning, but I really believe that we are doing the right thing.
