Traces of truth

Random quote of the day:

“Historical works all may communicate traces, but they do not communicate truth.  One who reads history ought to take these traces and nudge out the truths concealed within.”

—Issai Sato, quoted in Geary’s Guide to the World’s Greatest Aphorists

Why I’ve been boring lately

Or I probably should say, “more boring than usual.”

The short answer: I’ve been dealing with a family illness since the fall.

The not-much-longer-answer:

I haven’t wanted to talk about it much because I was using most of my energy just dealing with it. We’ve been on something of a rollercoaster, very intense at times, then less so, then more so…and etc.

We are in a good holding pattern right now and I’m feeling a bit more confident, enough to broach the subject here. Although, a superstitious, magical-thinking part of my brain can’t shake the feeling that by stating that openly, the Universe is going to pull the rug out from under me yet again and things will take a turn for the worse.

It’s odd living in Pambrain sometimes.

But if you don’t hear much from me for awhile, it’s probably because I have cursed myself and things have taken a turn for the worst.

If you see me here spouting inanities, you can probably assume things are going okay for the moment.
