Personal Log
Keep watch for the mines
The concealed dangers
The traps and the coils of the wires
With their sharp razors
The ditches and the trenches and the smiles
Of the gravediggers.
And if you're told
"The answer needs no questioning"
The answer is a lie.
Recent events trouble me. Yet anyone not troubled already has not been paying attention. Letting personal connections affect my appraisal of the situation would be a mistake.
I know better than to believe him, yet I trust his judgment. The usual paradox. I might take the freedom of choice as a sign of confidence if it weren't as likely a sign I have become predictable. Whatever he intends, I have reason to investigate reasonable precautions.
Orson might be right. I need a vacation. Maybe next year.
