Search for True

All day long I search for True. >>06/29/2005 21:16:40:[NtProvUDevs]:AddAccount: addAccount ret=True. These kinds of statements make me smile. The system is working. The headphones are on. I am alone. The rain falls outside my windowpane. The sun shines. I do not notice. >>06/29/2005 21:16:41:[NtProvUDevs]:ProvisionDevs: finished, ret=True The Truth is sometimes elusive. I am a modern day Sage. Always seeking Truth, and, on days like today, finding it with great regularity: >>06/29/2005 21:16:41:[NtProvUDevs]:RmMsgSw: retv = True My fingers go numb from the typing. The air conditioning won’t shut off. The cold keeps me awake. Coffee appears on my desk. I drink it. Truth fails me all of a sudden: >>06/29/2005 20:57:56:[NtProvUDevs]:ProvisionDevs: op(1) ret=False
>>06/29/2005 20:57:56:[NtProvUDevs]:ProvisionDevs: finished, ret=False
>>06/29/2005 20:57:56:[NtProvUDevs]:RmMsgSw: retv = False I check the code and realize this is expected behavior. I am back again on the path to Truth. I look up. The moon is out. It is brilliant above the mountain.

The rain is falling lightly, around me, lightly falling. The smoke from my cigarette twirls in the mist. I look up and see a rainbow in the soft moonlight. I am tired. I climb into my car and press {POWER}. Noiselessly, the car purrs to life. I ease it from the now empty parking lot and onto the deserted highway.
