Why does it keep growing?
Ok, I know. I’ve let myself go a little lately. In the past, I’ve taken to cut off my hair – usually all of it – when it finally felt uncomfortable. That usually happens on a hot day working hard outside, but now summer is over. I’ve worked outside on hot days this year, and yet I’ve not cut off my hair. Sitting in the bath the other day I got to wondering…
Am I becoming more comfortable with discomfort? And, what is with all this hair anyway? How odd it is that our species has this uncurbed growth of hair on the head. Does the uncurbed activity going on up there between our ears play any role in this uncurbed hair growth? And what happened to the rest of our hair? Did we exchange our hair for clothes? It is all very odd, and even odder that I feel it odd. Should I cut my hair now? Nah, it’s winter-ish now. And, it is bound to become uncomfortable by next summer.
