| Hello, Mister... |
Under ‘stuff’
I would file the funky weather for instance. That is, it’s been freaking cold
and snow has been falling in all the wrong places, like South Jersey wants
snow, really! Dump it in Lake Placid
please.
Next on my ‘stuff’
list: MH370, the plane that disappeared,
crashed, was blown up, hijacked by aliens, or swallowed by David Blaine who
will spit it out in a month. The ensuing
madness of cultural “lost in translation” miscommunication, obsessive über-sharing
of information of the wrong kind by the media, and the rampant conspiracy theories
make it that more baffling that in our world today a plane could disappear
mid-flight to never (?) be seen again.
That’s where
the madness lies: in the unknown, the feeling of being out of control. It’s the fine line where chaos, uncertainty
and fear live, side by side with creativity, hope and joy.
The anguish
of not knowing what happened to the airplane must be devastating for the families
of those on board and my heart goes out to them. We can only hope that it will end in joy, as
thin as that hope may be.
To round up
the madness of March ‘stuff’ list: the ever present uncertainty of our future,
which weighs on us heavier some days than others comes last. And, although there’s a sense of ‘out of
control’ about this month I also fully realize how blessed I am in the
ignorance of what my future brings and the hope and confidence that all will be
good in the end (and by end I mean like next week. Recap: sunshine, warm weather, new gigs galore and a
plane found preferably with all passengers intact – just in case someone who
has control over these things happens to be reading this….).
Hey, you
never know – all you need is a dollar and a dream – actually: all you need is a
dream (sorry, New York Lottery).
