I’ve learned that I can’t grab a ripple out of the creek and take it home with me.<\/p>\n
I’m guessing it works the same where you are. <\/p>\n
But in the natural course of things, that must always only ever abide as a guess.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Depending on which tool is used for measurement, the number of human ripples who are not completely sick of the shit I write currently stands at right around … five. <\/p>\n
When it comes to the shit I say<\/em>, typically into a microphone or a camera, the unsick comprise a tribe of as many as a few dozen. <\/p>\n These tiny dancing numbers obsess me and in the natural course of things that obsession is a pure foolishness which ends at a glacial ice wall hundreds of meters high up there in Beringia. <\/p>\n There’s no way for me to get over it. <\/p>\n So in between feeding times, I look instead for a way around it.<\/p>\n The term Beringia was coined by the Swedish botanist Eric Hult\u00e9n in 1937. <\/p>\n Before that, it didn’t exist. <\/p>\n Taking time to be impressed with myself for knowing those two things is an icewall unto itself, but I comfort myself with the knowledge that what I permit myself to be impressed by is prettier, than if I were to let myself be impressed with anything Trudeau said, or could ever say. <\/p>\n Does that make me sick of his shit? Yeah, probably. <\/p>\n But I don’t want to be sick any more. <\/p>\n So that’s why I’m bothering with the effort it takes to look for that hypothetical way around. <\/p>\n As for why the mammoths look too, themselves, I’d just be guessing yet again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve learned that I can’t grab a ripple out of the creek and take it home with me.
