loss/gain
I just lost 80 gigabytes of data. That includes about 80% of my music collection, my favorite Sealab 2021 episodes, and a whole lot of my personal history in emails, poems, various documents. Most of my best writing... gone.
My memory of my past has been fading just as fast. I don't know who I am anymore- I feel blank, like I've been floating in the blackness of space and suddenly I find myself in this blinding white room, and I see myself sitting at a table, aged until my thick beard has turned white and my eyes are hidden behind heavy wrinkles, and I ask this person Who are you? What have you done? He smiles and tells me that what I've done doesn't matter- all that matters is what I am doing. Only the present can define me.
I've been travelling a lot recently, up to Tacoma, Seattle, the San Juan Islands, and tomorrow I'm going up the Olympic peninsula.
