Perfect and Imperfect Storms

Freezing weather in March (snow today after huge high winds last night).

A deeply disturbing documentary we watched yesterday about the "manosphere."

David Markson's This Is Not a Novel.

"Golden" running through my head, making me cry, over and over again.

Cancer-fighting drugs surging through my system, making me aware of the magnitude of my physical state: this is far from easy, and far from over.

The state of the world, brought to humanity and other living things by a chaotic, unstable, craven, cartoon of a "man" who somehow is able to do whatever he wants to do.

The streamlined directness of Haydn.

The hope of Bach later today.

And the hope that tomorrow might be a little easier to bear.
