From a post last night:

"There's something to be said about standing right within
the fire, or skirting along the razor's edge of an event
horizon ~ right where loss, suffering, and destruction, mix
with hope, peace, and creation ~ seeing how much of it is
moment-to-moment perspective, and seeing how people use that
for benefit or for advantage. And somehow that all happens
right from a plastic Adirondack chair on the patio while
sipping tea.  Some days that roller coaster just seems more
intense than others."

That, it would seem, is the entirety of life's experience.

Is it though?

If it's true, would recognizing it change it?

Sitting at the laptop on the patio, a half cup of coffee
sitting in front of me, wondering if I would still
appreciate its taste if one of the squirrels playing chase
nearby leapt onto my leg, sinking its nails right in.

Why did I need to open a blank terminal window and fill it
with this?

Time to return top off that mug and finish that coffee.
