Dear D,

So the novelty of having entered the second half of the century, mine that is, feels now official and is giving me plenty to ponder. Last Tuesday marked 51 cycles ago I came into this realm, though it wasn’t the date that marked because after all, it is a calendar, made up and has opponents. The Chinese, the Jews and the Islam have their timeline. Marking the day was the acknowledgement of my youngest, which reflected on me greatly.

Reflecting comprehension about myself and therefore insight about the behaviour of myself and others. That behaviour though is constantly under influence, externally most of the time. Our eyes and ears make an ensemble orchestrated by the mix of chemistries and textures we put in our mouths. Add your mechanism of translating vibrations and you are a d.j like the geil governer of Ibiza.

The insight has to come with a degree of acceptance and willingness to enforce through learning from experiences. Books are like seeds or better-said marks were to build bridges, between neurons that is, but we children of the stars are creatures of complex matter. So like mister cigar(read Churchill) said *success is moving from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.

The enthusiasm of the childlike soul, waking up each day like you start a new leaf to fill and enjoy the use of said paper. Getting and accepting to know yourself a bit better and understand through the power that resides in being with yourself as a roadie, which is the way to wander.

Wandering the road, there are multiples signs directing us if only we would not ignore them. There are peekaboos telling us, there are clear warning signs indicating that at the end of this road is a cliff. For us taking into account or deliberately ignore and stamp on…in the end, each of us has to deal with taken decisions and clean up the wreckage or walk away and buy another car or change vehicle and start rowing.

Thaumazein is how Aristotle called a burst of wonder when a story pivots unexpectedly…so remember the cardinal north you shall find on the road to your true north which happens to be where you function like an Optimus Prime, without the Autobots that is.

May harmony find u,

Irena Phaedra
