Judith's Passage (my redemption of blogging)

Do you ever sit out on a cliff overlooking the sunset ducking past the ocean and ask yourself, "Who am I?"

...Well given the geography of Texas I would imagine not, but the thought is still there. We all look for our place in this crazy mixed up world, and when we are searching for it, things can get very existential, very quickly. This is how I viewed Judith's passage. She is essentially realizing the inevitability of life among the place she is now, and realizes the futility that it brings. We will all die eventually, so what do the things that we do matter to anyone. Her speech suggest a huge internal struggle that she is having, like that thought we all had when we were kids that everyone else was a projection or fake living within ourselves and this is all one big fantasy **and I Know you had that thought too at some point in your life...don't lie**.  With all of this futility of life weighing on her, she makes the decision to pass on her story to someone else in hopes that it will matter. When it comes to life, we all want to change the world in some way, and this passages suggests that Judith was no different than us; she merely wanted it in a time and society that was much more difficult than we have today.
