It's amazing how powerful little lines of words are. If you are ever back through ATL let me know. Keep writing. I work on it on various forms everyday. I love how productive you have been at getting it to the readers or listeners.

The batteries are dubious aren't they. Yet, abandoned nonetheless. Those excepts stand out indeed. One I pondered further thinking of the possibilities is - Is collapse inevitable when the weight above overpowers what supports it?

hmm... you do pose a question..so, I think inevitable is an assumption. yet, it the word dosent have a time frame. So an assumption that dosent really matter to me as much as how some shivering walls although beat and feeble just have this unquantifiable strength - like certain humans survival will power - to support beyond the weight above. I thought, what if within the shivers the walls and the supporting weight are struggling and shifting but have are figuring out how to work together to keep supporting and functioning for each other as a crack in the wall is settled by the roof filling that crack

and it just goes back to full wall and overpowering roof that is still supported.

Sisyphus is not a wall. but maybe he is at some points down on his knees crawling shivering from time, gravity, and fatigue...still supporting the rock.

Then I thought about faith, form and function, thermodynamics, Frankl and human will power, and that so many walls just can't wait to collapse and is that inevitability a comforting relief an the fractured things in life are the most beautiful.

Then, I thought - what an amazing piece of writing. Look forward to the book. Lets see of all this espresso I had this morning can transfer from my laptop to a noteworthy dog walk around the block.

All of the lines you wrote are poignant. Keep writing.

Hey, thanks for reading it and actually thinking about the stuff. Hopefully what's left in will hit harder than what was left out.
