But it is possible to change, change is the wind that blows through our hair..
where do i start with this tale or is it a tail? you decide?
I dreamt i stood in a house with my grandfather and he wore a tweed aht, but he didnt, my cousins where there the house was full of kagel kakkies (ornaments), which my aunt and cousins were stripping out of the h0us3.
the doors where double locked, as in there were to 2 doors.. one in front of the other
we had to sign out when we left..
This may all have to do with me reading American Gods on a borrowed ipad, at night in the bed before i sleep, but I digress. It was so strange.
Yesterday I stood staring at the ripples in the stream, fish rising and rolling in the water and now thinking back on that I realise I have changed, and am changing.
Some things stay the same though..
I flew to Singapore a couple of weeks back for a conference, you may say WTF .. why you telling us this now, we know that.. we have seen the pictures on facebook.. No that is not what I wanted to tell you!
I flew and it was a long flight..
I sat and stayed awake to fight off the possible jetlagging :-)
no i stayed awake to watch movies and drink free red wine (yes that is mroe like me isnt it)
So what is the point, none actually other than I had one of the most amazing experiences ever, as I was flying over the northern parts of Australia i peeked out of the window more than a couple of times. The bulk of the plane were all sleeping as they were all conencting to somewhere else in Europe.. So what did I see.. I dont think words could explain what I saw both in my eyes and in my mind, moreso in my mind. There was an endless see of Red sand with long parallel red dunes running for hundreds of kilometers .. not only was this an amazing spectacle on its own, but the sky was filled with a range of different fluffy clouds, yes now is the time to listen to fluffy clouds by the Orb, huge bi cumulonimbus clouds and high altitude clouds, but more amazing than this was the spectacular scattered thunderstorms all over the desert sky, yes this was significantly affected by the amount of Free Red wIne I had had.. But it was amazing flying at high altitude watching the rain plummet down on some of the lucky farmers and not on the others .. amazing..
I do miss the desert I do miss Red sand I do miss the dry.. But that is not saying that there is no splendour and wonder here . But I do think a trip into that dust would be good.
But stranger than that there are not a lot of beetles here in kiwilandia? For someone with a fondness no fondle~ness for beetles .. this is a hard thing to live without.
what else has transpired, there is an AWESOME new band that I discovered via Shalome called Kongos.
they are a pretty awesome 4piece band from the states who originally were born in ZA.
Part 2:
another life in another continent,
I was wondering, well actually am still wondering if it is possible to change yourself totally? Can we re-invent ourselves, I know i mentioned this above and before. I say this not only with reference to myself but to others I see and observe. How much inertia is there in our personalities, akin to phylogenetic inertia? Can we alter course simply be moving to another continent? I think environment plays some role in this, allowing us to change a lot through a fresh perspective and with a difference reference point. You are saying those two words are the same thing? Not with reference to what perspective i see this .. LOL, I will stop being silly.
How many of us manage to make a significant number of changes to our lives, were do we start?
attitude, diet, actions, intent, solace, understanding, acceptance and not least belief
not sure what that means, it just seemed meaningful in the moment.
Attempting to start over and create a new life, where do we start?
(cyclicly please dont repeat this document again.. that would be boring
:-)
)
we have eaten pumpkin flowers,
we have baked sour bread,
we have eaten sushi,
what have we to do next?
why is it so hard, yet so easy and contradictory
but this sums it up for the day
... And finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant and not nearly so much fun.”

and one last thing though I realised this week was I travel therefore I take pictures
cannot just leave it alone, no they are not photographs they are pictures taken with a camera capturing a perspective and point in time.. ;-)
things I have to do:
write more,
read more,
laugh more,
walk barefoot more,
taste the freshness of nature,
watch rivers flow,
sit still,
and fish more
