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
8/5: conversation
As I think this blog may intimate, I spend a fair amount of time alone, and if I don't have a certain amount of alone-time each day, I get over-wrought. But for the past few days, as I've gotten so focused on book-binding, I think I was alone too much--even for me. Today I met a friend for tea (iced) and a long chat. And then, near sunset, as I was heading back to the dock with my kayak, I saw my neighbor's boat and paddled over to him. We talked--boat to boat--as the dark came on. Different kinds of conversation, but both so good. For the friends, and for the conversations, I am grateful.
