'Looking at the carpets and the chairs.' I continue with the recent philosophical exercise I've applied to my days of late. Listening to the same record as I make my way through the teaching day. Getting to the end of each online lesson. Going to the record player. Turning it over. Making some toast. Boiling an egg. Perhaps some pasta or noodles. More cereal. Onward.
Today I make my way through the day with Bill Callahan and his journey round the sun. Bill's as philosophical as they get. Dry. Flinty. But he touches frequently on ideas that make you consider your place in the overall scheme. Being a speck. Part of something bigger than yourself. To imagine yourself as a bird on the wing. To find yourself at the place where the river splits to meet the sea. And be happy to be alive. Grateful.
