Anatomy of Melancholy



Gray skies, mid-October heat, driving to the valley, flaccid raindrops, ruing the ego, driving to the west side, swords of Damocles, vague loneliness, little Izzy in the hospital again, a rear-view mirrored glimpse of orange from the side.

    "Melancholy" is a word which is severely underused these days. No. It is not the same thing as depression.

    chop wood, carry water, as the Buddhist's say. Peace to you, E.

    I see your melancholy and I'll raise you acedia.

    Hope you catch a breath of fresh air.
