Harboring an illusion of permanence
It’s quite nutty to believe that anyone can feel a sense of permanence around these parts anymore. Get your house in order and risk the potential annihilation of a place? After Katrina, I think we’re all seeking some form of permanence, even though ironically we all know it can’t be found. We’re driving nails into buildings that are no more permanent than a blade of grass because the ground we are building on is on loan from mother nature.
And so what do I do in these uncertain times? Grow more attached to someone who has leaving on his mind.
