Tuesday Oct. 11, 2005 - Year 3, Day 204 - people change
their summer’s work shriveled & blanketing the ground, those leafless trees now look like undernourished twigs against their bushy evergreen neighbours; 4C/39F, light breeze, kids abuzz at the bus stop; Gusta is still fighting the halty a bit, but her behaviour change is remarkable, now acting more like a well behaved dog as opposed to a hard pulling draught horse
a short week of work awaits, though the pile looks as imposing it does on any given Monday ; today is going to be a great day . . . lunch & a meeting with an old friend & new client
I came across a set of words that stopped me cold – in my tracks you might say – recognizing how profoundly true this has been in my personal & work life; while I recognize it, this is one for taping to a mirror:
“ People change and forget to tell each other.” – Lillian Hellman
surely we have all made this mistake a few times, but probably not as much as when we say we’ve changed . . . but have not really changed at all
