But what do you do when all you have is words and phrases and they don’t won’t make a narrative?
An anchor can hold you in place, but that place could be the bottom of the sea.
Murky, frayed, buoy, eddies, pressure. All my metaphors seem to be nautical, but I’ve never even been on a boat, […]

This is somewhat confused from being written in several sessions. I was going to put a lot of work into editing and clarifying it, but I’m not sure it will stand up to that, so I’m going to pretend it’s just a thinking-out-loud examination of some related topics without any intended point.

I wish there were a quiet way to flag people, or their actions, or creations, as favorites the same way I can (though seldom do, because it would violate the lurker’s code) metafilter comments, so that that quiet feeling I have of being glad that as long as I’m in whatever place at whatever […]
