Happiness is a state of mind and not a state of being.....

While Emma doesn't want in if she can't dance....
If I can't laugh....I don't want to be in anybody's revolution...

still living on the edge of emergence...on the edge of western civilization 
(according to Heidigger...)
beyond....Kafka...beyond 50....

and laughing when ever I can....if it is gloomy.......

but it is post solstice...and the world has turned back on itself...heading 
toward the light....
