7.53 billion of us. At the end of 2017. There’s a small graph on google showing a steady increase of our populating this planet. We chew things, walk, or not, and sometimes are nice to one another. Other times we war. Internally, literally, then with family, and of course there’s always D-Day as an example. Micro-Macro. Care to jump on a breeze and float down a nothing? I’m slightly sure. A piece of my morning went exactly as I hoped it might which almost always never happens. But, it did, so I’ll wait to see what else takes place and while living I’ll do my best to remember I’m but a very small thing on this very large rock floating around in a much larger ‘piece-of-space.’ And I can’t help but wonder, do many of us ever stop looking at our shoes?

“Looking at our shoes?” A weird and wonderful little piece!

I think this depiction of the smallness of us, and the way we get so caught up in this smallness is brilliant. Micro-macro. “Do we ever stop looking at our shoes?”. Not sure, not enough anyway.

hmm I don’t know of it. Is it good for you? I’m reading The Cat’s Table. Written by Michael Ondaatje and I am enjoying it.

Awesome. I love getting book recommendations. I’ll keep my eyes open for it, Beloved Poison so far is good. Historical fiction, an apothecary apprentice who is a woman, but to succeed, is living as a man. I’m only a few chapters in though. Fave book ever, is prob “the blind assassin” Margaret Atwood.

Oh! I’ll look into that one. One of the better reads I’ve had recently is Zinky Boys. Very well written.

I’m not sure, but I keep on taking off my shoes at work cause they can get really annoyingly tight when walking and running around for 12 hours 🙂
