VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know better than to search for the point in such matters as beauty, love and connection. In life's euphoria, the concept of usefulness is not at all useful. Surrender to the wonders of purposelessness.

Lancaster. Never really went there before looking at a house on Como Lake yesterday, mostly for the irony of ending back on a body of water named Como, like how butterflies spend whole short lifetimes to get back to where it all began for them sorta.

oh wonder - all we do 

today, a student panicked so badly trying to talk to me that she couldn't breathe and another watched a baby die of suffocation from sleeping in the one bed the family had between the 5 of them and he wrote "I am nothing but a fly on the wall" and I took my mother and daughters to an art show where 30 years passed through my mind's hands like silt

How can you do that much damage to a knee(s) "falling" from the height of standing?🤨

If I had a dollar for every hour I've spent lying in a tub, wondering "why oh why?"..
