"Certain kinds of freedom"... Yes. I keep forgetting that the weight of decision and responsibility can be equally desirable.
"Instead of forever hanging above, I’d like to feel there’s some weight to me. To end my eternity and bind myself to earth. At each step, each gust of wind I’d like to be able to say 'Now!,' now and now and no longer say 'since always' and 'forever.'"
"The new moon of decision! I don't know if there is destiny, but there is a decision. So decide! We are the present day now. / The whole town, the whole world is taking part in our decision."
- from Wings of Desire, the film you politely declined on Friday night.
p.s. you're welcome for the brownies and the dishes. thank you for risking infection, gangrene, amputation... death, even.
