An Unanswered Question.

The past couple of days have produced a few aches in connection with a loss and some further potential losses – a highly valued person and some highly valued connections.

But then it just occurred to me that if you can feel the sadness of loss, at least it means you’re still alive and interested in something, which I suppose is better than the habitual comfort of routine mediocrity.

Or is it? I don’t know. I was trying to work out the other day just what a feeling is. A feeling has no substance, and yet it can send you into a climb or a plummet. ‘It’s all in the mind,’ they say, and they’re right. But it doesn’t answer the question.
