It’s Monday, and all around us the lone and level week stretches far away. The stock market is tanking, ISIS is destroying ancient temples in Syria, and the only good news is that the weather this week, at least in Chicago, will be temperate. Hili, inspired by my piece on Tom Chivers’s BuzzFeed article (translated into Polish on Listy), is searching for meaning. Apparently mousing and napping has left her spiritually empty.
A: What are you looking for?
Hili: The meaning of life.
In Polish:
Ja: Czego szukasz?
Hili: Sensu życia.

Leon and his staff are finally back from their hiking trip, but we have a final photo:
Leon: Is that a pine or a spruce?

Finally, Andrzej posted on his Facebook page this picture of Hili and Cyrus cavorting by the Vistula. Isaiah’s prophecy fulfilled!
Hili should know – there is no meaning in life. Meaning is a meaningless concept! 🙂
… or “Meaning ‘meaning’ is a meaningless concept”…
Try telling that to the mouse.
I do not believe it can be any better described than your thought – Being an Atheist means coming to grips with reality. Amazing that more people do not want to live there.
The great thing about life is that the whole point is to make your own meaning for your own life.
…and, if you’re in it for the long haul, right now is as good a time as there’ll ever be to get into the market.

42, Hili. The mice have got you covered.
Actually…it would be the other way ’round…Hili would have the mice covered, by her intestines…and likely more than merely 42 of them, though I’d think she should consider that a good start…poor Frankie and Benjy….

I think Arthur would think Hili’s intestines is a pretty good place for Frankie and Benjy.

Just a second … Ozymandias?
Yes. but Ozymandias’ statue was clearly described wrongly :
Fixed that.
