I went for a walk with Rachael yesterday evening. Then I came back and worked all night.
We went a long, long way. And it was uphill all the way back.
But I was glad I went. It was good to get out and have a chance to stretch my legs. I’ve been totally bogged down in projects, and it’s not goign to get better any time soon.
The weather has been completely foggy for the past few days. Walking around, it seemed like the trees were covered in a tangible frost, but it wasn’t cold enough for that to be th case. I think the dew was just so think it glistened, even at night. These pictures were hard to take—I will definitely be investing in a tripod soon.
“Almost every American I know does trade large portions of his life for entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one of them. In the course of writing this I’ve watched all 13 episodes of House of Cards and who knows how many more West Wing episodes, and I’ve spent any number of blurred hours falling down internet rabbit holes. All instead of reading, or writing, or working, or spending real time with people I love.”
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
