wiped out by a migraine

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.07.08

Had an awful day today. One of the three bad migraines of the year. Didn't eat a meal until 19:00.

And yet I had to return a car in the midst of it all. At least I didn't go half-blind this time the way I once did in Calgary while driving.

But I can count my blessings. With the evidently fatal car crashes we passed on the road yesterday, twelve hours with a thumping head wasn't the end of the world. Gods know it's not the last time.

When destiny comes to a man from outside, it lays him low, just as an arrow lays a deer low. When destiny comes to a man from within, from his innermost being, it makes him strong, it makes him into a god…
