Latter Day Sinner

Today I am doing my laundry. I have 12 good pairs of slacks and I like to wash them all in one load. So if I get dressed every day I have to do them every 13th day while I wear the dress pants I don’t like. The pants are done and folded. I just took my second load out of the dryer. It was mostly underwear and tshirts. It left a thin layer of lint in the lint trap. It reminded me of my mortality. Those tshirts are a little thinner this evening. Everything falls apart a little as it goes along. Entropy! The world is eating me up. It’s a very slow process at the moment. I can barely tell. But I know I’m a little thinner like those tshirts. Even though I can’t perceive the difference I know that in both cases it is there. Days like today make me doubt eternity in general and eternal progression specifically. Everything runs out a little as it goes. Candles can’t burn forever. I sometimes suspect that souls can’t burn forever either.
