Hello all of my loyal - EXTREMELY loyal - readers. So sorry I’ve taken two weeks off, I had an unexpected deluge of responsibility at work that not only sapped me of my creative energies but also cast me into a dark depression, the kind of depression you only get as you see an avalanche approaching you and realize you’ve nowhere to run. A real “Force Majeure,” overwhelming and devastating, and also the title of a movie (or two movies) that you should watch.
Anyway, all this unpleasantness will be done this Friday, and I’ll be sure to finish the piece I’ve been cobbling in the rare moments I’ve lifted my head to look out from my own little “drowning in a bird bath” experience I’ve been putting myself through. My next piece will be either a meditation on pain or vulgarity or both! In other words, a dozen or so paragraphs that will be sure to hit all of you wannabe depressives in just the right sweet spot.
