Today I sort of feel like someone has taken an ice cream scoop and scooped out all my insides, leaving me just a waffle cone with only the melting dregs of frozen cream inside of me.
I finished Sputnik Sweetheart in three days. I think I feel such a strong bond with all of Murakami's works because all he ever writes about are people who are incredibly lonely and, for some reason, are unable (either emotionally or because of outside factors) to ever be truly connected to the people they love.
However, this is tempered with overarching themes of interconnectivity between all beings in the universe. Peace is only achieved through the idea that we are all connected in ways which we may not understand, so even if in the corporeal sense we cannot be together with those we wish to, we are all wrapped in a cocoon of silvery threads which unite us all together.
So, even though I feel lonely, I'm really not alone? Hmm.
Today I am wrapping up some flash fiction and prose poems to send in to a contest. Everything submitted will be considered for publication. Fingers crossed y'all....
I should be getting letters from Kristi and Matt soon, hurrah! I need to mail a letter to WV and Germany, and then Durham, yadda yadda yadda. Perhaps those will all be written at work today, hah.
