i finished inflamed. i kind of scooted through the last part. i was getting tired and four books were waiting for me. i said i'd like to write a review i think, not that i would. now i don't think i'd like to. i'd like everybody to read it though i don't know, i think it's hard to imagine the kind of shift required. it would be so radical. i believe in nature though, in nature collapsing some institutions we would kill and die for and do. i believe obama has ill-used people and will suffer, and his conning tower will be haunted. i read today somewhere forgive yourself over and over again. you are doing your best. i'm reading the luminous novel now. phew, my eyes are hazy like the sky, the letters are small and smoking. and it's thick. something radical is going to happen that radicals dream of but can't imagine arising from this paradigm. in one way it's a collapse of everything we were taught was inevitable, and in one way it's the cumulative cloud lightning burst of untold long denied radical dreams.
