Walking The Edge

Fine a life to choose. Don't look at the mail or be swept away by the bast driftnet of cyberspace. Go to ground. Tear away the film. Eyes open now, there are no secrets with eyes open. They are promising major dates, millennia, eras, golden shores. Magic surgery, special pulls. Fiduciary statements. These are all lies, there can be no room service. Take it, don't ask for it. Probe deeply, lick the soil, turn out the lights and feel the night sky. Security is not, security is over. Back there, yes, there on the land, the river rises, foaming red across the earth, building towards flood level, the level will not recede within safe banks in our lifetime. The cannot be helped, too late for that, but must be faced. Turn down the music, listen, hear that train whistle blow. - Charles Bowden
Over the past month I've been back to catching public transport to and from work, and hence have gotten back to reading, which has definately been welcomed. This morning I finished Charles Bowden's Blues For Cannibals. Not the easiest read, and the first quater (or so) didn't particularly grab me (save some parts here and there which really spoke to me). I half considered throwing the towel in early on, however didn't and really got into the later part of the book. It turned out to be a quite a good read.
