one month on my own

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2001.06.15

Rented a car and headed up to the cottage. It's on a finger of water called Sturgeon Bay that is the south-eastern-most portion of Lake Huron's enormous Georgian Bay. Came up with mum. She'll be returning tomorrow with the car.

Today is the fifteenth. I've been on my own for a month now. Haven't slept in a bed in that entire time. Still don't know what I'm doing with myself, either.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

—Steven J. Gould
