Sticky Notes

"The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head." (Into the Wild 2007)

So I haven't blogged in about a month, but I've written down blog notes to myself on sticky notes, and I'm going to type them all out, just this short little series of short blogs, hopefully capturing a few of my thoughts lately. Nothing profound, I promise. There are five or six of them, ending with a poem by C. S. Lewis. Here goes.
