Paperweight, and wait and wait
"Not much to say today" - quite frankly those are not ideal words to
begin a blog entry with. And a split infinitive is not an ideal
follow-up either. But I am tired - it's been a long, hard day
trying to get a web site prepared for a very tight deadline, so I feel
rather emptied out. I noticed tonight, however, and this is the
reason for writing, that the paperweight I had intended to put on eBay
a couple of weeks ago is serving a good purpose despite its impending
relocation. Put to one side, ready for photographing and listing
on eBay it has found a niche for itself - as a paperweight. Still
in its presentation box, no less. There's something poetic about
that, but then again, I am easily entertained and distracted
particularly when tired. I am looking for the bigger
philosophical meaning which can be gleaned from the paperweight finding
a niche for itself. I am sure there is one, probably involving
intent, purpose and disposal, but for the life of me it cannot be
pieced together . So, for the time being at least, the
paperweight will have a stay of execution in lieu of its beneficial
properties as an unintended paperweight.
So, as I said... "not much to say today".

Yet you told us so much.
Whenever you are tired, take a break.
And listen to some Water Music.
