Sarah: I don’t want to watch you turn into a cog in their machine.

Fielding: That’s so fucking condescending… Sometimes cogs can make machines run a little bit better.

Sarah: Sometimes.

Fielding: Yes.

Sarah: Mostly they turn in circles and wear out. Then they get replaced.

A recent personal observation:
Can it be true that just thinking of the three most beautiful smiles I have ever seen on humans…just three ordinary humans whom I barely know, separated by thousands of miles, who are seemingly unconnected except through me…can it be true that simply thinking of them brings joy and bliss? 

It actually IS true. And kind of seems random and weird. 

And then I think – I re-member that it’s SUPPOSED to be that way.

Appreciating the perspective AND the smiles. For real.
