Ag, when you feel like your sensuality leaves you in the cold, it's hard to continue living. You know what I mean.
A dear friend of mine said to me today, that it takes a great deal of courage to be human. Knowing that you're going to die one day, being aware of the fragility of life, and having the capacity to understand so much, separates humanity from the rest of creation. It really does take a lot of courage to go on, knowing that you're going to get old, your body'll break down, your mind may become (even more, in my case,) unstable, and you'll lose abilities that you consider special right now.
Do I have the courage? Last night it failed me. Momentarily. But I did the right thing, for my family.
