Somewhere along the way, I lost the thread. That is evidenced by the fact that I had the Breeders Cannonball album when it was released, but that it took YouTube recommendations for me to hear "Safari", an almost perfectly refined track.
I also lost the thread by trying to compose a blog post on my Android device, owned, like YouTube, by the Alphabet corporation. But my draft was somehow lost in limbo when I tried to upload it. It was "saving" forever, a computer scientist's definition of eternal life, I suppose.
That "lost draft" was titled "mixed feelings", and it was a series of counterpoints, observed at the time.
The excitement of a voyage vs. the separation from loved ones
The anticipation of experiencing the new vs. the disappointment of not being able to share those experiences
The fulfillment of a plan vs. a plan frustrated and canceled
And even a few more that I have forgotten before I lost the thread. But I will hurry to post this on my Alphabet-owned blog before I have forgotten entirely the Shibboleth that allows me to pass through.
