portents

from a blog that i follow:

In a minor miracle, I already sold my place (and only paid 4% in 
commission.) It was only on the market about a week and the first 
offer was what I was looking for. We move in two weeks. I intend to 
live a completely different life in denver than I do here - more on 
that later. It'll be quite an experiment. Do you ever think about how 
much of the way you live your life today is merely the result of 
inertia from the way you lived it yesterday? I hope a locational 
change will make it easier to bring conscious consideration to some 
of those aspects of life that I could address explicitly, but 
haven't - at least not for a while.

couldn't have said it better myself.

yes, i do think about how much my life today is a result of inertia. i just don't know where that inertial trajectory is leading.

here's something i wondered back in '04:

 inertia disturbed
 motion in a new direction
      away from nothing
      toward nothing
 a new beginning
      to a new end
 what lies ahead?
                  lonesome voyage?
        or a new orbit?
