I started blogging in 2000; 24 years ago. The online name then was “Ehich”. I used Livejournal. And then in 2002, my online handle became DLTQ – Don’t Lose the Question.

And later, I was uncertain whether it was just a Question. Or if there are Questions that I should not lose.

Drop my questions on the floor vs Drop my question on the floor.

It’s a subtle difference, but it is also very real, very in my face. Because if it is A question that I should lose, then it points to a Core Question in my life; a starting point, that I should not forget even as I move through my life.

But if it is instead the plural, the QUestions that I should not Lose. Then – so what? Wha would that mean? What would it mean for me to know that it’s the totality of the questions that I should not lose.

And what does it mean to Lose a question? To forget it, lost in my past? Or that I drop it, on the floor, on my graveyard of questions and thoughts and ideas; I drop it, and I then decide to forget about it.

59.

Now, it is the 59 that is my focus. Will I lose that? In 5, or 10, or 43? The 59 that slowly drips down; decreases towards the nil, nothing, zip, nada.

During my childhood, I recreated books in my fantasy, and I changed some things. Elements in the story. Now I might say that I change some of the parameters. Like twisting some knobs in the sound studio, making those little twisting movements, left or right, and I then see/notice the changes, or I don’t.
