Okay, so it's been awhile....again! But I've been busy saving the world. Surely you can understand that, right? It's not like saving the world is something that can be done overnight, afterall...it's a long-term project; something once set to simmer gently over a low heat, while the correct ingredients are procured, diced, sliced, sautee'd and added slowly to the whole conglomeration of smells and textures in the mixing pot of life. That said..... :-)
Life has been busy recently. And cold. I've noticed, after re-reading the entire listing of posts that I've made since I started this blog, the large amount of mentions of the weather, primarily of the cold sort. Now either, I am ONLY posting in the winter months (which is a distinct possibility with me, given how slack I am these days in my blogging), or else Australia is in a state of continual cold weather, never ending, hard to endure, and always worthy of a good bitch.
So where do I stand in the state of things just currently? What am I doing with my life? What are my dreams, my hopes, my plans? Hmmm... the basic answer, the easy answer in fact, is "not a whole lot", though it would both be true and untrue to say that. In some ways I've been exceedingly busy, in other ways, I've sat on my hands and twiddled my thumbs (now THERE'S an image!).
But I expect that the truth of it is that I am living my life for the NOW. I have things planned for the future, sure - lots of things - but for now, I am laying the path for what will come. Saving the world, in a way. :-)
Or at least....attempting to make my little mark on the world as I see it. Perhaps I will manage to change this orb, hanging in space, that we, as a whole, call "home". Perhaps I will just add to its angst. Gotta love that angst! But just perhaps I will leave an indelible mark on this beautiful blue ball known as EARTH, and 200 years from now, some lonely little sod, (all full of angst, as I am sure teenagers will continue to be for aeons to come) will find something I have written, and feel changed by it. Or at least, will stop and consider, if only for a minute, that they aren't the first person on Earth to feel the way they do. And perhaps (most probably), they will forget I ever existed 10 seconds later, when they move onto the next topic, but if they only remember for the brief time it takes to read, ingest, digest, and consider something, then those of us who take up the mighty quill have done our jobs correctly.
That said, for now, I am happy to fill these pages with my words, and to fill my ledgers with even more words, one day to be gone over, picked through, considered, reworked, thrown out, recovered from the trash, considered again, laughed at, and then put aside for a rainy day so I can go through the whole merry process again.
I have other things to say, but they can, perhaps, wait for another day and another blog.
Toodles.
