Murakami's well, Queenie not so much

What do you do when you can feel your fingernails slipping and you yourself sliding headfirst down Murakami's well, even though there is no earthly reason for it to happen right now because, according to everyone, you have reached the personal nirvana for which you have strived for so long?

Do you give in to the pull and let yourself slide down a little bit? Making it that bit harder to get up.

Do you haul yourself out again? Knowing the struggle that entails.

Do you ask someone to pull you out? Who can ask that of someone else?

Chemicals don't work.

I guess it's time to start haulin' ass.

That is a tough one. Hope the hauling ass works. Columbo

Ah shit. I'm sorry to hear that. I've no magic advice, in fact I'd love to hear some myself.

But I hope the fingernails hold out. I'll give the wind-up bird's key a couple of turns.
