rear-view
...
Today, everything around me is made of mirrored dice.
I myself am a die,
falling and turning until that side finally lands face up.

"Doctor, without your wounds, where would your power be? It is your melancholy that makes your low voice tremble into the hearts of men and women. The very angels themselves cannot persuade the wretched and laundering children of this earth as can one human being broken on the wheels of living. In love’s service only wounded soldiers can serve ..."

What I don't feel quite able to say out loud yet is that I've spent a lot of effort trying to understand people and figure things out. This weekend, the best conclusion seemed to be that everything is dice. After so much thought and searching for underlying motivations, people just do what they feel like doing. And the way they feel is not rational or predictable. And as always, everything is mirrors. I feel like I've been trying to understand and anticipate what is ultimately chance, and all the while from within various images of myself.
I don't quite want to support this conclusion yet. Let me roll again...
