Country about to descend into madness. All locked away together for months at a time. Feels lucky to have the kind of brain that is shallowly curious about many thngs; that can think 'I shall look at Babylonian but not really learn it', 'I shall solder incompentently', 'I shall meditate'.
But I've spent a lot of time with myself and I know the dangers.
Why aren't they screaming? This is untried strangeness. We can only hope for the best; for some of the compassion that has been missing over the decade.
