A heart that’s full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won’t heal
You were so tired happy
Bring down the government
They don’t they don’t speak for her
I’ll take the quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent silent
–Radiohead

Whether this is my attitude toward life is my choice. I felt today like my job was killing me (not very slowly at all), mostly because I have a headache. The afternoon cappuccino has gone down the hatch, though, so I’m probably going to be feeling a little less carbon monoxide shortly.

I want to live a life of passion, conviction, wisdom - but not of continual disappointment when I realize that these have been absent for a while.

Father, carry us along as your people. Pillar of cloud, pillar of fire, guide our way as we journey with you.
