people
right now / I’m sitting at my desk (writing this) / I doubt whether anyone is thinking about me / yet that’s what I worry about …

became so anxious that when she did visit (the next day), I said silly things …
relaunch
new name, new url …

steady / unified / clear …
so
I am hoping, when I die, to meet Jesus …
