Seismic, Quantum

A number of my LJ pals are feeling a need to step back from it lately.

Could just be the season. Lot of people with SAD.

I can't help but recall, though, my mother, and how after her father died ... that seemed kind of like the beginning of the end of my parents' marriage, in retrospect. Death sometimes brings a kind of focus. Figure out what's important and see if you can do better at holding onto it. Figure out what's damaged more than your power to fix it, and see if you can let it go.

I know I've lost patience with a number of things about internet interactions that I used to have very large patience for.

Some of it is definitely the season. I know my own cycles.

I've seen a lot of death this year, though. I suppose it's made me more patient about some things and very much less patient about others.

I dunno. Feels like a seismic, or quantum shift going on.
