OUR OWN LITTLE BOATS

It's this that makes me weary of growing up.

"The last time when we more or less went through the motions of change together, everyone excited by the same things, at the same time. I always found this comforting. We were all in the same boat -- or at least swimming nearby. Now, we're all in our own little boats, in our own little oceans. It seems so much harder to be collectively surprised, exhilarated."

"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."
-Albert Schweitzer

I THINK WE LIKE TO COMPLICATE THINGS
