In order to keep my life functioning, I have to write things down (maybe that's why I'm a writer?). I have lists coming out of my ass. My lists include items that range from the mundane...
Get oil changed.
...to the abstract...
Forgive that asshole you slept with.
...to the difficult...
Buy original art that will uplift your spirits and appreciate over time at a rate of 10% a year.
...to the cosmic...
Have a child.
...to the complicated...
Find an emotionally stable dentist.
...to the relational...
Call aunt to wish her a happy birthday.
...to the mundane (again).
Buy some orchid food.
Just for today, I can write things down.

You bring up concepts that are hard for me to fathom. "Republican doctor" is a phrase I can make some sense of, though these should, in abstract, be unrelated. They're not though, are they? But "emotionally stable dentist". I get the sense of that, but am scared of the context. Or even how to go testing the field samples. You have given me something to wrap my feeble little brain around. Thank-you!
Your admirer, Karl
