Want to start up again. In a pushing through the difficulty barrier kind of way. Building strength and body. 40 years in the forest.
Breakdown in class. Abject failure as a teacher.
Taught EB White's "Once more to the lake" and Annie Dillard's "Total Eclipse", both existential breakdown pieces. I read them to myself while the classes slept. Literally. Having my own solipsistic experience.
So to shake off the panic I dance. Only for 3 or 4 songs. Some playlist on Spotify. Tinariwin. Breaking through the cocoon of death.
Time to fight. 40 years. Then die in peace.

You might win some but you just lost one
