act as though your will were universal law

I have spent most of the last two days in my windowseat, watching the clouds drift by overhead, watching the way the sunshine falls on the leaves in the tree below, really not doing enough reading about philosophical visions of the relationship between God and humanity. Instead I have been doing this:



You are all very much free to disown me now. In my defence, it wasn't my idea, and I'm a finalist, but personally I would disown me, so.

What texts are you using? I did do this, but it's easier to show you how I did it than explain it, if you know what I mean...

In person would be super, but only if you can spare the time from f****s. I really don't want to increase your stress!

The plan also has an advantage in that I get to see you, so. :) Come and visit me at some point? Today I am running errands liek woah, so perhaps call me later?
