we make hope from every small disaster.
guys, life is so full of miracles right now. here are some things i can do:
- i can go to work and speak with a man phoning from bristol. four thousand miles between us and his voice just on the other side of the speaker.
- i can use a screwdriver as i stand barefoot in a pool of sunlight that shines through an open window with a white wooden sill.
- i can set the needle of my new turntable down and wrap myself in "letter from belgium" and "palmcorder yajna" spilling from tinny speakers, sitting cross-legged on the floor of my room and eating a sandwich without guilt.
- i can send my heart via mixtape to a girl a thousand miles away (and going farther!) and receive one in return.
- best of all: i can go to sleep thinking i would rather die, and wake up the next morning to all this quotidian wonder.
