that's no way to toss your salad

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.06.18

Today my foot slipped on an escalator stair; my arm went up, throwing my lunch into the air. I had to scramble to scoop all of it back into the Styrofoam container before it got gummed up in the platform at the top of the elevator.

I must be getting old, I still can't piece together how it even happened. Haste doth make waste, it seems.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
