Biothe latest update/editorial take, various bits 'n' pieces and impressions from my mind: (be warned, purple prose follows...)
and so...some many-and-then-some moons ago (give-or-take), i woke up and left behind 2 dying societies with their phony castes and the constricted life they demanded. then, shortly therafter, i jumped off the edge of 'the new world' and back in time to a brave and determined old one. one of dusty streets and careworn victorian buildings, where memories of those long-gone still fill the air and give names to the tattered lanes. my society now is one of ravens and pine trees; blue jays and aspens; magpies, mountains and mine ruins; and tough genuine folk who don't have time for masks.
the retrospective and introspective bat's-eye view looks back and down into the metropolis and sees those pathetic, sad and pointless masqueraders and mummers, still acting out and acting up, desperately holding on to their past and imagined glories...what a waste of life and its limited time. i feel blessed to have woken up from the farce, but it is truly pitiful to see so many who haven't.
now i'm so far from the facades and masks and so near to the real wonder and wonders of life and all its treasures, it's truly a new world, here in the old.
*neener-neener, nyah-nyah*. (felt that lofty soliloquy needed a touch of levity, lest i sound arrogant and pretentious. who, moi? no, of course not.)
so there you have it. my head talking, once again.
those who already know me, know that they may not so well as they thought, and those who don't? get to know me better, you may like me, you may not. again, to me, macht nicht. i don't ask for approval or understanding...
