treading

this will be fractured.

  just finished reading this.  thus begins moving to veganism.

it's been something i've been thinking about for awhile.  is the benefit i gain from eating meat something i am comfortable with in the context of the harm it causes?  it no longer is.  and, tying into eating meat is dairy, and eggs, and leather, and other animal products. is the production, and consumption of these items worth the many issues involved?  is it too much of a cost for me to forgo them?  it no longer is.

fractured. 

it's also an excellent book. measured in its approach, non emotive, respectful of all the individuals, from those factory farmers, and those consuming factory farmed goods, to strict vegans. at no time does it feel at though Singer is taking the moral high ground - at no point does it feel as though his mind is made up. it comes across that the ideology behind meat and animal products is being evaluated every step of the way, considered, and kindly so.  it is easy to read, it does not hold back in evaluating the problems, but at the same time, does not go for shock value. it allows the reader to come away from the book with a reasoned approach, and a reasoned understanding of the issues.  

i want another bookshelf.more.more.more.more.

i ate too soon to do yoga, and now i am exhausted. it's 10 pm, and i have only been awake since 6pm.  four hours.  too much to be awake.  mind is foggy, foggy, too heavy, too heavy.  it is lagging behind me, i walk too slow.  i need to sleep. if i don't, it drives things underground. sleep heals me.
