Should I need to gallop over dark waters to you on short notice

I dreamed of running around a devastated forest with a backpack of videocassettes, which I guess is how my brain interpreted the imminent 'Thon. Have some stray links.

1. Celebrating Annie Glenn on the eve of her hundredth birthday.

2. Christopher Eccleston being candid about mental health.

3. I like both of these poems: Liz Berry's "The Burning" and Talin Tahajian's "Bad classics."

I shall return in some number of hours.

I haven't had a chance to leave comments for the past couple of days, but I mentioned your dream to Wakanomori yesterday--he was talking about a dream clearly directly related to life (he was in a committee meeting, trying to make a point, but could see that things weren't going to go his way), and it made me think of how details get translated into the dreamsphere. A backpack of videocassettes is such a neat metaphor, and almost not a metaphor at all.

I need to come back to read the poems.

I hope it has been for good reasons, not stressful ones.

Good reasons--writing toward the definitely Zeno's paradox that is this story's ending.

I hope you enjoy them when you do. --very much indeed.
