walking in the sun

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kawasaki, 2020.03.15

Today I walked for about 4.5 hours. First I went back to everyone's favorite gully to pick up some storage things and groceries. I returned by about noon and decided to have a nap. I then woke at 13:30 and decided there was still more cruft I needed for the apartment. But it was sunny and if not exactly warm then at least not too windy. So I decided to walk around a very large cemetery that's been built atop a hill across the valley. I walked all over it, even descending an unmarked (but paved!) trail from the lower half into a gorge and across to the upper half.

Then I went and did more housewares shopping. I even found a lint roll thing for the dark pants that I washed with two new and very cheaply made towels. D'oh!

I can't find peanut butter anywhere.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
