"The future" is a Western concept, she said.

It is a strange habit-- trying to sum up a life, to abstract it into a compilation of opaque snapshots and frozen dioramas.

If only, indeed! I'd check that out...

I am: a little overwhelmed & working a lot-- community gardening stuff (right now that includes greenhouse work, teaching a certification program for greenhouse management, and a lot of research and organizing), starting a non-profit, renovating a building, and thankfully some purely personal creative projects (Steve & I are collaborating on something, and I also get free painting classes through my second job).

I've been without a car in a sprawling, decentralized city with unreliable public transit, but luckily I have enough of a social support system that I've been able to get to where I need to when other people are going (I live with co-workers and treat them well) or otherwise convince someone who loves me to help me run errands. AND soon it'll be warm enough to bike most places.

I really need it to be nice outside soon! I've been cramped indoors and haven't been getting enough exercise... Of course, now that it's getting warmer I've also been given a free pass to a nice yoga studio (I'm not complaining, but I could've used it starting in November).

So I guess things are going well-- I like where I live, I have work I really care about, I'm around people I love, I'm meeting a lot of new challenges... I'm kinda broke but I'm paying off student loans & building "marketable skills" (makes my parents worry less if I put it that way). I don't see my family as much as I'd like, but part of me doesn't know if I could handle it-- there's just so much sadness and very little I can do about it. It is what it is.


Also, my housemate's cat is chock-full of kittens right now and ready to pop. And my boss is sort of obsessed with this:
