And never brought to mind
And may the new year suck much less
Than the last three years combined
Ramen to this. 💖
Have you been into the hopium tonight?
I favor the Buddhist teaching that hope is an illusion. Hope will prevent many people from taking action. I can't hope that l live through brain surgery without having secured a competent neurosurgeon. Hoping incompetent people with tyranny on their minds will see the light can be deadly. A plan of action must come first.
I'll second that.
Speaking of pain management, a little poem of mine you might appreciate:
I have been lavishly gifted a pain
as thick and rich as oil paint
By pushing it around the page
I have learned to make art

@VeryBadLlama Wow. I just flashed back to an old joke about a sailor with a nervous stutter who's trying to deliver a message to his captain and can't spit it out, and the captain tells him to try singing, and the sailor takes a deep breath and sings:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
The admiral's fallen overboard
And he's half a mile behind
Yep
