Day 13: Thursday, November 24
Ate everything today. by that i mean i ate the gem, it’s pips and skin, and the apples and their cores. Certainly made me fuller but tummy ache got worse.
I re-watched the incredible Scorsese epic, The Departed, which contained a philosophy by Jack Nicholson’s character that spirited along the lines of, “What’s the difference between being a cop or a criminal when staring down the barrel of a loaded gun.” I can relate. Knysna doesn’t respect hard work. It’s not only personal experience. I’ve seen it happen to many, their efforts like hurling sand at the oncoming tide. In this town, more than in any other i’ve witnessed, you either have money or you don’t. Outside of that, it’s down to good or bad luck. So i tried to skip worrying and instead listen and sort music. I did no work at all – been a long time since i’ve given to abandonment. Afterall, it doesn’t really matter?
It’s raining outside,
teardrops for my life
Thoughts inside,
knife after knife
