Fantasy
Once I was told that white women have a fantasy of being "discovered," something like a fairy tale. I never thought of that as being the domain of ww, though it is childish. Thinking about it, I can imagine the myriad of things I would like to be delivered from, but to where would the escape bring me? I really don't know.

First Day of Night School
As usual, during the wee hours I try to be productive but am easily distracted. I read Dave's blog and was surprised and humbled. It calmed me. I was brought easily to some ideas that I know to be true: you cannot control this crazy world nor the people in it; and, our illusions about ourselves can be the source of our distress.
Well, that and this cup of tea.
Maybe the blog can substitute for the writing I thought I should be doing. (You have to know me to make sense of that.) Since no one will be reading this, I'm safe.
