.....are you sure?
You have to wait a long, long time for anything to be seen to be happening when if, like me, you enjoy the occasional “conversation” with the stars above. The sun comes up, the sun goes down; the moon rises, the moon sets. They cross but never meet.
So we may as well go on patiently with our lives and look somewhere else for the shocks and changes that keep us “sane”.
The British are obsessed by weather – why this is I have no idea. It is often said that they can experience all four seasons in one day! To my mind, the rain has to stop some time (hopefully). I have lived in Africa where no rain was the order of the day, but here even the longest drought is eventually broken by rain, so by my reckoning it does little good to watch the weather (but it’s changing and not for the better). We have to live with what we are and what we have.
But I shall still continue with my “conversations” – nothing will happen – at least not tonight!
Until next time (and still conversing),

This is a very deep blog, P.S. and I am spending time thinking about the underlying messages. You might also like to know we have started a debating club in the school and will use this piece in order to "train" the kids how to present their views.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous!
ReplyDeleteSo many underlying messages.Is everything in the mind of the beholder or is there something out there so grand that we fail to perceive it?
The kind of conversing you mention is, in my opinion, of crucial importance for our "sanity".

Hi Anonymous - great to hear you are developing young minds. This piece can be read and thought about on many different (and often deep) levels - which is why I wrote it! P.S.
ReplyDeleteHi Lucana, and yes there are so many messages, one being that we are (as individuals) consumed by our perceived sense of "importance" that we forget what we are here for! P.S:
