Thoughts

Safety and familiarity are fading.

These can no longer be found at my mother's house, which is no longer my mother's house.

Nor can they be found at work, where my department was eliminated, and what remains is a skeleton that continues to shrink.

Nor in government, whose embarrassing addictions to fear and power have cost it its social life.

Nor at home, where the changes are good, but they are many, and they are rapid.

Nowhere is familiar anymore. Or perhaps Nowhere is becoming more familiar.

There's a sense of freedom in this..

I guess this is why people pay to jump out of airplanes - it feels, ahm, exhilarating!!
