RE: https://mastodon.social/@merlinwisdom/117271638899075320 But I don't know yet, and that's why I have to go sniff it. It could be startling in there. It could be the informational equivalent of a bible in my front uniform pocket in ten years' time in a trench I never thought I'd be in, or the guitar chord you play over and over in your head, or a murmuration of starlings. I mean, how on earth would I know until I get there? Who honestly knows in the moment what's long-haul going to be important?
