some thoughts, old and new
1)I have to stop being so invested in the outcome of the election at this point. I've done my part and now it just has to ride out. And when I think about it, none of the three candidates will really be that terrible. One of them will be really good, but none that terrible. All three support tackling global warming, are against torture (the least you'd expect from human beings, yes), can think independently (also the least you'd expect from humans..). Still we all need to get our head out of this, it's just going to continue to be painful.
2)I managed to construct an image of me traveling around Israel by myself. It's me, a suitcase, a backpack, and my guitar. Going from one place to the next. Where? DUNNO.
3)We don't have to follow any specific path laid out before us. I don't have to get out of college, go to grad school, get a day job, all in that order. I don't have to do anything like that. I can get out and join the peace core. I could spend a year doing farmwork. I can go anywhere. There's something comforting about that thought.
4)I was reading a book about Egypt before and I drifted off thinking about religion and I was suddenly overcome with the urge to meet with my rabbi and talk to him about religion, and finding oneself, and all those crazy things. I don't know why. Just suddenly I was ready to have that conversation about what everything can mean. My agnostic tendencies aside, I've never ruled out rediscovering judaism, and kind of just regarded it as a matter of when. I'm not sure if I explained any of that right. I just wonder what would happen...and how far i would go...
5)What was it they said in risk pool about going back home just to ricochet out farther and farther away again?
