19 September. Some of you may notice a figure standing on the ledge outside the windows, facing inward, ostentatiously moving around. He is not trying to get your attention, but rather, was contracted out by Facilities to clean the windows. The spectacle of his industrial squeegee and agile limbs, while theatrical in nature, merely point to the daunting task at hand. Please do not be alarmed, wave back in solidarity, or distract him in any way. In short, your windows are being cleaned today, so that tomorrow’s acute vanishing point into the landscape of life itself shall look clearer.
