These are really all we have in the way of medicine. Not to achieve healing, per se --- but to make the slow-death grab at us in a less painful way.<br /><br />"Look! In the sky!<br />Nothing." ... I love this.<br /><br />"and now destroy" ... I like the touch of anti-Buddhism in this --- as if all the "floating away into the atmosphere" (escapism, as it were) is really just ruining the good NOW moments we <i>do</i> have.✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-42806952145474633772016-03-13T12:52:03.700-04:002016-03-13T12:52:03.700-04:00You turn the words into bullets here, and shoot do...You turn the words into bullets here, and shoot down a lot of comfortable cliches in the process.
