Crash Boem Bang

Today seemed an appropriate time to revisit this ol' blog of mine.

Somehow, life seems to have rounded away and then simply headed for a rest - at the beginning.

Crash.

A reincarnation of sorts - without having really lived a lifetime each time.

Boem.

Cheesily, I intend the Bang being something akin to the bang that created the universe.
That neatly coincides in timing with the month that I turn 30....

Pish. That's all hogwash. These gyres are bothersome. And these are, obviously, daemons not laid to rest.
It's all very well to brush away our experiences cheerily with a consolatory pat on the back and a sage tone about life's experiences making one stronger. Lipservice. That's all lipservice if you cannot fathom what you were supposed to have learnt. Where should your next step fall? I had never even considered that I would actually be pacing in circles, trying to set right bones already healing - and breaking them all over again, as I prodded and fiddled and thrust and pushed.

Now, as I gingerly pat reddened, swollen tissue, I must consider that, perhaps, I was mistaken to expect the bones to be the same as before. Perhaps, the daemons needed to be accepted as immutable obstacles and a path onward needed to be forged around them. Because onward is where one must go. Whether one likes it or no.

I came across a quote today:

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.
Maya Angelou

What if you still have everything to prove to yourself?
Boem.

  1. 'Boem' is an Afrikaans way of spelling the English 'oom' sound. They are equivalent phonetically in these two languages.
