Hmm... what are we striving for, actually?
The goal keeps moving.
After a while you begin to wonder. Should I be expending all this effort on something like this? What is the purpose/payoff?
There are definitely a few things that are unquestionably worth every bit of effort... raising children, taking care of others, acts of kindness and service...
But other things; like making more money than is necessary, trying to look good or seem smart, etc... aren't they essentially meaningless.
I am trying to get to something here but all that's coming out as a bunch of obvious cliches... I'll persist....
Er, no I won't. I'll change the subject.
I like the tassles on the guys shoes. Not enough footware tassles around these days if you ask me....
And stripey pants! I had a pair of duo shade purple stripey jeans that I fucking loved back in the 90's.
Oh, and jellyfish. Kids love jellfish. I remember thinking they were just awesome. They weren't the kind of jelly you could eat - but still.... they were jelly! And maybe.... somehow... somewhere there was one you could eat...
Little bits of blubbery magic. Flying in the sky...
Let's see what new pursuits tomorrow brings.
