I made this video today to try to get back in the mood which goes with leaving Reg waving sadly as my train pulls out of the station in Rome. But I'm not feeling sad at this moment so I couldn't make my facial expression match the beautifully melancholy words of Les Feuilles Mortes written by Jacques Prévert.

POWER-CUT SATORI

The blackout on February 12 lasted from about 3pm to about 5am the next day and I stayed out as long as possible but coming back to a freezing home and trying to read, wrapped in a blanket, by the light of three rapidily diminishing candles just didn't work for me.

What you see here and in The God Interviews is what you get and we, Augustine-the-cartoon and me the Natalie, are on our own, unaffiliated and unaligned.
