The problem is just where I'm at right now. The limbo in finishing up. Purgatory.
And I live with people where the highlight of their life isn't in coming to understand something about the way the world works... Getting closer to a cure for cancer, or even doing a paint by numbers or creating some art work... But watching an episode of a soap opera. Interspersed with informative desirable things. Longing...
And I think: What is the difference between you and me?
And I (occasionally) listen to the frantic ramblings of the Person Standing In Front Of The Kettle talk about how their great grandmothers second cousins boyfriends auntie knows the bus drivers third cousin. And his daughter said that she was related to the king of england...
And see ...
admiration. delight. fascination. interest.
is required.
And what is there more to life than hanging out with everybody all the time and looking and smiling and looking and smiling and connection with everyone who is descended from the gods looking and smiling and laughing like the birds and calling and togetherness.
noise noise noise noise noise everywhere all the time always.
and that is how you help people yeah? you listen to them talk about the pain in their ankle that started in their lower back then moved up their arm and then their house was blessed and the gods the gods said to them let it be cured so now all they have is little stabby pains sometimes in their left finger.
and, well, that is admirable really, of course. delightful.
coo.
the rise of allied health!
the decentralization of power (who do those doctors think they are with their knowledge)!
answering to the health needs of the world's population!
(you don't need to be literate to coo)!you can have this back now thanks, i do not like the noise it makes
coo.
