Ghost pains
It is said that if a limb is cut off, you get ghost pains. It hurts where the missing limb should be.

Sense of time
There is a new Matari channel, Circle of Tribes. I was there yesterday.
Listening to the discussion made me realize how different sense of time capsuleers have from regular people - people of the clans, of the tribes.
For many capsuleers a year is a long time, five years almost like an eternity. For a non-capsuleer, five years is short. For a clan, a tribe, five years is like nothing, hardly significant in the succession of generations.
Yet, capsuleers make so much noise about their supposed "immortality". Immortality, when the technology itself has been in use for only seven years? Immortality, when one cannot even remember events that happened five years back?
Such infinite arrogance.

Where no bird flies
Light wrapped by dark
Chains of air crisscrossing
Where no bird flies
(Ryuna Rai, "Of stations")
Looking for new music.

Changed faces
Yesterday, I was looking at the people on comms in our corp channel.
Familiar faces. Some of them I have known since I first joined. Others are newer, joined after me. I remember people who are gone. We are not the same group of people as we were three and half years ago.
I've never worked for a non-clan corporation for a longer period of time before Gradient. It feels like people change so quickly. Is that just an illusion?

Lacking updates
I have been busy with things, and not felt much like writing here lately.
I still intend to keep updating sometimes. Right now, other things just seem more important. Or easier to do.
