"Always there have been penalties
for Luddites, and I am one
familiar with the penalties,
though so far I have not been hanged.
Luddites are guilty of disrespect
to any silliness that is popular,
to any meanness that is profitable."
— Wendell Berry
I was a girl who embraced her contradictions because I believed certainty was the cold lie, and so my life has been an odd mix of conflicting perspectives. Sometimes I trembled, while dancing at the cruel edges of paradox and its relentless ambivalence. Sometimes I thought I might go mad with it all, but instead I have learned how to love and dance and sing and wonder. Failure became my best teacher, and the trivial of my life and experiences was remarkable, including myself. Living was enough.
It is all enough.
It's a New Year/blog/experience and so forth....
Moving on. Welcome 2022.
