My baseball team played a very satisfying game yesterday, and it was televised, so I saw the last part of it. They bunted to perfection, and rattled the other pitcher. It was fun to watch. I'm getting a bit sick of being an invalid, but still have the cough and am not over this sucker yet. I'd like to DO something.
I finished a very strange cowboy kind of mystery last night. Not my usual cup of tea, but I got gripped by the plot. It reminded me of old Stephen King like "The Shining". Good versus evil, with good killing a whole lot of bad, which kind of confuses the issue. But it does get you thinking: are there people who are evil, and if there are, is it environment, genetics or an aberation of nature? I don't much believe in black and white, except for acts people perpetrate. People themselves I like to think of us temporarily insane, or so abused they are caught in a cycle, but redeemable, ultimately. But maybe some few people are born without all the components of humanity. Reading the newspapers catches me up sometimes in this line of thinking.
I'd like to go to meditation this morning but it's too unwise, with the cough and the need to blow my nose occasionally. I can listen online, and save innocent people possible exposure. But I miss being there and the energy of the place.
