Things That Are Not Ill
-Not knowing where my Egypt necklace is (plus the mdw ntr on it and the ring liv got me in Bolivia)
-Recognizing when things aren't right and then righting them but wishing that you hadn't even though you know it's right
-Telling the truth to yourself
-Having miles to go before you sleep
-Lying to yourself
-Not having enough Ella Fitzgerald to listen to
-Falling into old habits and not realizing it until it's already happened

Did I show that Tupac thing to you? Because it's my background right now.

Telling the truth to yourself is neither ill nor not-ill. It's simply what you have to do. Isn't that one of the conclusions Malcolm came to at the end of his Autobiography?

you did.

a rereading of the autobiography seems most appropriate about now. left my well-marked hiebs copy at home though.

i'd like to make a list of those things that are neither ill nor not ill merely things one must do. i feel most grounded with those.
