Wow...
It's like I've finally been able to remove the silver coins from my eyelids and open my eyes. I can see things on so many different levels now.
I have a birds-eye view,
a mid-range view
a subterranean view
an internal view
an external view
and...
everything looks so much clearer.
The weather forecast is predicting that a cyclone is going to hit the North Island of New Zealand some time this evening or early tomorrow morning. That's cool, I love storms. When a storm vents its full fury down onto the earth, no other single, sound can be heard over the top of it regardless of how loud it is. Storms are ideal for creating sound-proof spaces...
and even though storms leave a hell-as, shit mess behind for a while, everything looks so much fresher and clearer after the clean-up. Some people today have tried to enlighten me. They haven't told me anything that I hadn't already figured out for myself.
They think that they are two steps ahead of me when they are really twelve
paces behind.
When you were a kid did you ever attempt to blow the biggest, soapiest most
colorful bubble and then try to catch it in the palm your hand only to watch it go
pop!
...Leaving a cool, damp patch?
Did it ever piss you off that something as flimsy, transparent and fragile looking as a bubble could turn out to be something so darn, deceptively strong? The bubble could have settled down in your hand for a while, but even then it would have only done so momentarily, offering the softest, faintest glimmer of hope, it could have randomly chosen to drift away and burst elsewhere, still painfully within your field of vision, but not too far off into the distance
...Or it could have
burst right there on the palm of your hand leaving you feeling cold and powerless.
When I was a kid, no matter how much I knew the odds of a bubble bursting in my hand were pretty darn high, it never stopped me from trying to catch one,
Now that I'm a woman, I know better
and I just let it float away
or I simply
become
the bubble.
Dust and bubbles. You can't go past them...
