Older, but no wiser

No, I haven’t disappeared up my own backside in tortuous contemplation of the finer points of metaphysics. Instead, mind and body are drawn in their totality into mundane practical matters; soul, if there be such a thing (yes, of course there is, I’m just not acknowledging it at the moment), is left high and dry in lonely isolation from its partners in the trinity. But I live in hope they will all be reunited and live happily ever after. For a while, at any rate.
