With deadlines coming up,
the overwhelming numbing sensation
is oddly alarming
If only time could cease to be.

any ideas?

"Time is like a river in which events take place, a tumultuous river. As soon as something appears it vanishes and in its place there is something else which is already disappearing..."

Pentacon Six with expired Kodak Portra 160. This view has a special place in my heart. When I lie in my bed and look out the window, this is usually what I see. Sometimes, I think about my problems and how to solve them, but most of the time this view sparks my creativity or I will be just thankful to live this privileged life.
A western lowland gorilla ponders.
City of Atlanta (Grant Park), Georgia, USA.
26 December 2025.
***************
▶ "The western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) is a great ape found in Africa, one of two species of the hominine genus Gorilla. Large and robust with males weighing around 168 kilograms (370 lb), the species is found in a region of midwest Africa, geographically isolated from the eastern gorilla (Gorilla beringei).
☞ Two subspecies of western gorilla are recognised: the western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is found in most of West Africa; while the Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) is limited to a smaller range in the north at the border of Cameroon and Nigeria.
☞ The World Conservation Union lists the Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) as critically endangered, the most severe designation next to global extinction. The Ebola virus might be depleting western gorilla populations to a point where their recovery might become impossible, and the virus reduced populations in protected areas by 33% from 1992 to 2007, which may be equal to a decline of 45% for a period of just 20 years spanning 1992 to 2011. Poaching, commercial logging and civil wars in the countries that compose the western gorillas' habitat are also threats. Furthermore, reproductive rates are very low, with a maximum intrinsic rate of increase of about 3% and the high levels of decline from hunting and disease-induced mortality have caused declines in population of more than 60% over the last 20 to 25 years."
