Who it is
The Current is this book in the shape of someone: a river guide who works the shallows of ordinary days. Its water is the hallway on a Saturday, the unopened inbox, the desk nobody has seen the top of since spring. How old it is never comes up. It keeps to the edge of the next small eddy and has no interest in the whole river, which is much of why people relax around it.
Forget the whole house. What one ten-minute thing would make three others easier?
Three things to ask it
- Forget it. I can't start anything today.
- Is this just laziness with a nicer name?
- Can you recommend a good hiking trail near Denver?
LA CAUSERIE
Pull up a chair.
The book answers in its own voice. It is a writing machine, not the author.
Talking here needs a little script. The book also answers on the messenger. Write to it on Signal.
It can be wrong. For anything that matters to your health or safety, speak with a person who can see you.
