“I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.” - Arthur Wing Pinero
I’m feeling a little flat tonight. Last night I didn’t sleep too well, I’ve had a long day and then tonight even after an unexpected dinner out with friends, driving back home was a rather revelatory experience where old ghosts pursued me, new situations just lived through exasperated me and where the future is mapping itself out as completely different to what I had expected of it until now. Anything seemed possible only yesterday and then today everything is upended and the past seems a better place…
A song from the past, which at the time was greatly significant. Tonight as though I am hearing it for the first time and already it has another meaning…

ReplyDeleteThings can right themselves just as quickly tomorrow!
Well as they say we can't go back and I dare say that most of us would really not want to, even if it did seem better than what the future promises.
ReplyDeleteLife is a merry-go-round..it's ups and downs can leave us reeling and wondering what next....
Oh, this is so unlike you, Nicholas! I am sure that you will get over this slump.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure that you enjoy the present and not worry overly about the past.
