I suppose this is neither here nor there to you guys, but I am
mentioning it because it is strongly on my mind. It is on my mind
because I have spent all day dealing with the aftermath. My mother died
this morning. It was not with a lot of warning either. It was six days
after she entered the hospital and right up until last night everyone
was expecting that she would be discharged at any time.

Charles Bukowski “For those who believe in God, most of the big
questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the
God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to
new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a
command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the
teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here
to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds
and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.” ―
Charles Bukowski
