sad as it is to have to report such a thing, sadder still is the actual pointing out: that happiness is not always relevant; it is only an ideal state. it is only ideal. Truth is by far more relevant, more important, in any circumstance; and that is a happy thing, even if the Truth be sad.
on a somewhat related note, i have just watched my grandfather, kneeling before the television set, petting the image of a dog on the screen and saying “good doggie” (for the amusement of his dog Matty).
and now, a goodbye, a farewell wish of good fortune and happiness, and a hope for the impermanence of goodbyes, for my friend Lisa who i love and admire, even if she drives me fucking crazy sometimes.
