Assessing in the middle of the night

6/26/2021 Slothrup's existential crises hour 3 AM

“Between 3 and 4 am, at least once a week, for a while I have been waking in a cold sweat”

“ A less than ideal time to discern your place in your own timeline, or your place in history as these bivalves found out”

“The Witching Hour, The Magic Hour, I should have a plan to write or sit or make a 7-course meal in place for when it happens. Instead, I spend too much time wondering if I’m a bird disappearing into the troubled cloud body”

“Processing the sins of generations in one overtaxed body and wondering why I don’t feel well”

“I need to remember this is the essence of the practice, not just when sitting but right here right now 3:40 AM watching an Oyster Swallow the Moon”

Well, y’all, should be heading home today, decided to do this now, your yesterday, referring to something that happened the evening before. Depending on when you see this, it could be a future event obliquely referencing the parallel experience of a stranger’s narration. In my timeline Sunday Sundries are tomorrow two days from now, so we’ll see how it is then won’t we?
