imagine if
carry the water
I was chopping wood today & remembered a guy from Wales many years ago who was missing two fingers from his left hand. He described how he felt the sickening, impossible thing… then his first thought was, as he told me in his furry accent, “You stupid, stupid bastard.” He says instantly the pictures started going through his mind of all the situations over the rest of his life when he would want those two fingers, and no longer have them.
