I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

Well, they just put a sold sign on the building...one more thing to be anxious about--will the new owners change anything? Will they decide to turn the building into a bed and breakfast and kick us all out? Will they raise the rent? Tell us no pets? Keep things as they are? I hate my life.

Well, I get to keep my social security check. At least for the moment. So the rent's taken care of--the internet and utility bills, I think are manageable as well. Food--well, we'll see...

Off to work--doing 4 to 10 shift tonight. Yuck. Calling more rude prigs, lovely.

I think many of us have grown so far away from what is true, what is real, what is simple and good. It's a bit sad. It's the progression of humanity, I suppose--but I think we've left something important behind in the transition.

We've forgotten our sense--it the noise of modern life--the sounds, the whirling and changing bustle of everyday living--we've lost something essential to our humanity.

The calmness, the inner stillness of nature, has left so many of us. We are no longer content to simply walk under the sky, or feel the breeze or smell the morning rain. To hold a moment--a fraction of quiet beauty---in our heart and spirit and soul, and allow it to give us joy.

It's left me, often enough, these days--and God, don't I mourn it.
