Two steps forward, one step back

The Risperdal seems to be making me worse, not better. Oh well. I'll talk to the doctor, though probably not Monday (last day at work) or Tuesday (my mom will be in town).

Hmm, travel....

Round trip train fare to Portland from San Jose is dirt cheap ($109). If I could find a relatively cheap hotel room downtown, I'd be all set.

I'll never have more time to travel than I will right now....

We can only hope that this is a wake-up call?

When people have learned to de-sanctify each other, to treat each other as means to our own ends, to not feel the pain of those who are suffering, we end up creating a world in which these kinds of terrible acts of violence become more common. This is a world out of touch with itself, filled with people who have forgotten how to recognize and respond to the sacred in each other because we are so used to looking at others from the standpoint of what they can do for us, how we can use them toward our own ends.

Beautiful essay. Spot on.

Wiped out...

I can't believe how sleepy I am. Time for lithium and bed. G'night.
