Who Will Read This?
7/16/2006
I believe there are spacecraft heading out beyond the solar system carrying messages for extraterrestrial beings who may perhaps find them eons hence, long after life on earth and the earth itself are gone. Writing this feels rather as if I am creating such a message. Who will read it?
Perhaps Katie N. Perhaps Joy H. Is either of you there, or somewhere?
Alone late at night, the way I have lived and perhaps will even when I am old, except that I am already old. But I don't feel old.
The St. John's Wort didn't bloom on the mountain this year, or very little.
People like me don't write weblogs, we don't want to communicate. We survive by keeping our secrets.
