degringolade

Edo period (1603–1867) / Hakuin Ekaku/ Fujiyama from Shoin-ji

I suppose that I am not really all that surprised or concerned at what I feel is coming. I think that I have been thinking it is long overdue anyway. Doesn’t mean for a moment that I welcome it’s arrival (if and when it does) it just means that the future that I see a’ comin’ is an overdue houseguest that will probably overstay its welcome. That is just the way that things go.

But long term houseguests have a different role in the grand scheme of things. By having one around, habits that were easy and really not all that attractive will need to be counted and weighed and most of them discarded.

Just not time to take action yet. Time to watch and wait and lower one's profile. Maybe arrange life for a simpler time.
