So, three days ago, the forecast was for this new Tropical Storm (Colin) to gather strength gradually and move parallel to the East Coast. Tonight, the National Hurricane Center tells us that this mass of clouds and rain will lose almost all its potential and just die out as an open tropical wave about five hundred miles south of Bermuda.
I worry that the thrill of finding old friends come anew will come to the same fate. I guess Im looking at it this way. If you leave something in the hamper long enough, provided its not completely foul, a teeshirt becomes pretty much wearable again. Not such a great comparison perhaps, but I have to say that finding friends I hadnt seen in a decade again felt a lot like that - anything I had fucked up had pretty much come out in the washing machine of events called time.
Theres a larger point Im trying to stay away from here. Im not sure I can properly articulate it - and I have given the matter thought over a couple days. Im working on it...Ill preview it by saying I need to capture the essence of this video - in words.
Any suggestions?
This video is quite melancholy, as meaning both "pensive/moody" and "quietly serious thoughtfulness". Suits a group called Moody Blues.
ReplyDeleteYour right;It is difficult to articulate all the aspects of that video. What stands out at this moment to me is the issue of re-examining life choices. The woman in the video longs for her past happiness. Thinks reuniting with old love will right the "wrong" decision she made becoming wife and mother. Then she sees in the present time she probably wouldn't be happy with a musician on the road all the time. The option she wants is to go back to a finite period of time in her past. But that's not possible. Sad. I can't leave it like that in my mind. I think her real issue is she thinks she needs someone else to make her happy, when only she can do that. It's an inside job. She needs some wild dreams of her own.
Thanks for sending the link to the video. Good food for thought. Take care.
