The doctrine of res ipsa loquitur

I learned that in school. It’s a legal term that means “The thing speaks for itself.” I’ll probably think that it sounds so hoity toity when I read this blog again at some point in the future. But tonight it works for me. This thing, this big change – sort of a life overhaul – that has turned my world upside down since September, will speak for itself. Hence, I am compelled to put into words everything I am thinking and everything that is happening to me. Oh, I am being torn apart by this force majeure (best term I can think of at this moment, and yes, I am on an intellectual roll with the Latin terms so don’t even try to stop me) that I cannot even begin to describe.
