the pendulum swings

Somehow, despite the successes; it is the failures that haunt.

Again: Ghosts are the memories of past regrets. (I wish I could properly attribute that quote).

Like Sisyphus, the rock that I cannot roll; this burden unlifted.

It is easier if you cannot see, cannot hear, do not speak. To cover the eyes, stop up the ears, and stuff the mouth with cloth.

I hear the bell tolling.
