 A tentative blog to test the temperature. |
|
Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| Something for Chewsday to Chew On I read somewhere recently that Bob Dylan reads his early lyrics and is amazed that he could write such words. He even admits that he can’t write that sorta stuff anymore. That’s quite an admission, coming from him. I would say the same thing except that with me, it doesn’t matter since no one reads my old stuff anyway. But it remains true. And I am left wondering whether, on this sampling of precisely two people, it would be true to say that old age cannot say the things that came so easily to youth. True or not, it makes sense that we should be concerned about different things from the young. If we haven’t learned anything after a lifetime of experience, it would be a sad tale indeed. Kind of negates the whole point of the journey, after all. Word count: 140 |
