And the thing is, you can't do anything about it, you can't control it. With my Subaru, it's not so complicated.

There should be cries, cracks, fissures, whiteness passing over chintz covers, interference with the sense of time, of space ; the sense also of extreme fixity in passing objects ; and sounds very remote and then very close ; flesh being gashed and blood sparting, a joint suddenly twisted - beneath all of which appears something very important, yet remote, to be just held in solitude.” β€” Virginia Woolf, The Waves
