Winds of change...

Symmetry is often a sign of order, perfection... Some studies have shown that the more symmetric your face the more attractive to others you are.

It is of those elements that you wish you could incorporate into life more often than not. After all so many things in nature are symmetric that it makes sense to want to reproduce it. It should even be second nature...

If it were only that easy!


I was just making an entry in my diary... Although 'diary' is perhaps not the most appropriate of words since I have made 24 entries in the past three years. Yeah I guess my lack of discipline reflects not just on the number of entries in this space... That being said, the entries tend to be fairly long and I've used up half the diary. So maybe I'll need a new one in three years' time. The trees have got to appreciate that! ;o)

So I have not really kept any symmetry there... But then maybe imposing symmetry to life at all costs would certainly make it dull and extremely constraining in terms of experiences...

In all serious business, re-reading some of the entries has been a curious experience.

In a couple of instances I have been TOTALLY OFF. I mean I thought this friend would take a totally different path to the one he has taken... But hey, I am not a fortune teller!

However, the most part the diary has helped me process quite a bit of what has happened in my life in the three years since I moved to London! From questions of confidence, to my feelings on paintings to matters of the heart -even some that could only be described as amorous and frivolous encounters...

It is interesting to have snap shots of moments that have shaped the person whom you are becoming... Then again I am only gaining a year or two perspective on my entries so I wonder how it will feel 10 years from now?

...I just typed that but a decade from today I will be 41 years old, 1 month and a week old... The number starts to sound quite intimidating... A decade sounds like an eternity away but at the rate time flies it is just around the corner! With a bit of luck time will be kind to me -although it is likely I try my best to assist it!

Wonder if I'll be making my first entries in my third diary... provided I continue at the current entry-writing rate...

I'll find out soon enough I guess! In the meantime I think will continue to explore the asymmetry which in some way has entered my life. After all there are too many 'asymmetric' moments of life and it would be a shame to let them go to waste!

Did I mentioned that I snogged a 21 year old at the pub on Saturday night? It was funny... I didn't find him particularly interesting, actually that is probably why I snogged him... It was one of those "Eh! Why not?" moments... I can really grow to like those! ;o)
