Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/19: one me, one hundred geese
When I kayak on the lake, I usually head out to an island, paddle around it, and then come back home. Today, as I rounded the island, I disturbed flocks of geese resting in the high grasses there. I didn't see them until it was unavoidable. They flew up suddenly, lots of them, all around me, honking and flapping. It wasn't a good thing to worry the geese. But it was extraordinary to be surrounded by them.
