I have trouble with my timing belt as well. I’ve been working on the issue of Pace and Timing, both internally and in my interactions with others.
I want to be a smoothly running machine, performing lockstitch after lockstitch without fail, tying new memories onto the fabric of old, and grafting old memories onto new, keeping the needle oiled and fertilizing the roots that feed the graft with as much bullshit as they can handle, and plucking the fruits and watering the plant without rusting the engine in the sewing machine.
Still keeps dropping stitches though and I keep getting these weird maggots showing up in the graft. But I keep painting the tar on it and washing it with vinegar. So far, so good.
