Some friends have wonderful things that are disrupting their lives; births, weddings, new projects. Others of us are slogging through the not so much fun realities of life. And for some it feels as if the onslaught if shit, and the continuing winter, is never ending. Oh and let's not forget: The Ukraine, Venezuela, Syria, Uganda, Arizona!
I do not intend this to be a whine fest, but there is no denying 2014 came in like a bitch. So what are we to make of it? Well I don't know. Oh sorry if you were hoping for some nugget of insight. I've got nothing. Swimming with alligators, is taking all my energy, nothing left for bon mots.
But I do feel or at least I choose to feel, that we are "on the ragged edge of anticipation", to paraphrase Mark Twain. In other words, something's gotta give! Will you be ready when it happens? Will I?
My friends, and you know who you are, I will have your back and you will have mine and together we will get through this cosmic sludge. We can't fix Syria et al but if we take care of each other, that has to spread like a ripple on a pond hasn't it? It has to make some kind of difference, hasn't it?...............Ugh I really hope so.
Thank you Gilda Radner~ " Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next."
