Where has the spark gone? Coriolistic Anachronisms - A Vancouver Blog

   Vintage! This is a random post. The year was 2005...

Wind of change

)arrow I’ve felt it before. It comes out of nowhere and wants to take you back there. At times it makes you sweat, but then it chills you to the bones. No way to sail along with it for it is unpredictable and gusty.

But it carries many new scents and the perfume of unknown lands fills the air, speaking of faraway places and undiscovered treasures. It makes your feet itch and your eyes sweep the horizon.

It’s then a matter of timing, I guess. The one gust will come that has the potential to carry you away. Like in strong waves on a beach, the secret is to not fight it. But why, if I know this so well, I am still worried to miss my wave?

Where has the spark gone?

)arrow I was just talking with Sabine, who is pregnant. It was 10 years ago that our paths crossed for the first time in the Bahamas. We were GOs, then, partying all the time and not worrying too much about what was to come. Where has time gone? How could ten years have already lapsed when it seems like just yesterday?

Mr. Keating said in Dead Poets Society « Make your lives extraordinary ». Am I missing the bus? What has become of me? Extraordinary always seems to fade out and be replaced by a dull, grey routine. Time does its trick and if you sit in the same spot long enough, it kills the spark in you.

The spark. How I need it now. And how inaccessible it appears. How fugitive. What will revive it? Does a spark need a spark?

    « Does a spark need sparking?
    Well it depends on how you describe a spark... I like to sparkLE all of the time. I find it helps if you blurt things out when they come to your head. Jumping up and down in random places also works - the stares you provoke should help! sometimes spark is in the contrasting colors of bouganvillea (sp)? I think you have that flower in the caymans? Another amazing thing that sparkS my interest: taking your dog or any dog for a walk... After leaving a pile, make sure there is a crowd around, then pick it up (with a bag of course). Just from doing this, I have been blessed - to me its really funny that some god might give a CRAP about me picking up dog doo. Any sparks yet?
