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
5/29: liberated left wrist
At the start of last summer my watch stopped working. And I didn't buy a new one. Instead, I meditated on the fact that I had worn a watch basically non-stop since the second grade. I had even taken to wearing a special watch while swimming! So I decided to experiment with watchlessness. It was great to spend a summer without a time-piece strapped to my body. I tried to keep it up during the school year, but I really do need to be able to keep timely time during the semesters, so I bought a new watch and have been wearing it dutifully for the past months. Today I realized that it's time to revert to last summer's practice and unstrap!
lingering in liminal time and space this a.m. ...delicious!!

Thank you for your good words, Elaine--and nice to see you here (so to speak) when I logged in this evening!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed some delicious liminality this morning.
