"I'll end this year's journal with a joke...I'd like to sort through and organize my years of scribbles and redact as might be indicated. In other words, I would like to do something with them. "A fire at the beach is one possibility as organization doesn't seem to be my strong suit lately and yet they are collected chronologically at this point; a full step away from simple chaos. I also think of typing up ( is that even a verb anymore?) excerpts. So to cull or to burn, that is the question. It frightened me enough that I went right out and bought three blank books yesterday and wrote 2018 on the cover of one of them.
And now....I have typed up and edited an excerpt, haven't I? If I am sensitive about conditions changing, even this small change I have made may be a big enough perturbation in my original trajectory to lead to something other than a bonfire. I am not, however, predicting anything.
