Looking back I can help but to appreciate the surreal aspects of the days gone by... Its like a collage. Pictures from different levels of consciousness and moments in time, MY time.
November market 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall and all politics aside I could not help but to think at how happy people where to be reunited with loved ones. Indeed there are some bonds that the tyranny of certain ideas of man cannot destroy. If only we didn't suffer from A.D.D. and managed to hold on to the things that bring us together rather than on those that pulls us apart...
'tis weird how in life the profound and the mundane are so intrinsically entwined ...
Silly as it may seem to some as a follow on paragraph, we also lost one of our family dogs this month... Pitou it all the way from Zambia... travelled more than many people have in a life time! He was a funny dog, when he was feeling lazy you could not get him to come towards you if you tried but if he was across the house from the kitchen and heard a bag of bread being opened he'd be in front of you wagging his tail like there is no tomorrow!
Time: we choose whether passes us by or whether it leaves in us memories of a life lived!
November was also a bit of a funny month when it came to "romance". Following my amorous affair in October, the Silver Surfer got in touch. We met in late September at an alumni event which ended up turning into an ad hoc dinner - with some curve balls thrown into the mix.
Since then there have been a few dates: a dinner and a country walk both of which included one of his "younger" sisters and a friend of hers in town for a few days. Then there was a folk music concert followed a few weeks later by a classical music recital. This late date marked a chance of pace. He finally dared to take my hand in his! His MO is somewhat different from that of others I've come across in the past... Kissing still feels clumsy but hopefully that is not due to lack of know-how! With a 20+ year difference I would surely hope not in any case!
Several 'game theory-like' scenarios where considered, some "win-win" others "win-lose" and feelings of being over my head have somewhat subsided, which is never easy for over-analytical control freak! This should be an interesting episode...
I've never really been a fan of Dali, but you gotta love the surreal touches in life's collage...
