We're All Mad Here

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat. "I don't much care where----" said Alice. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat . . . "In that direction," the Cat said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Hatter: and in that direction," waving the other paw, "lives a March Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad." "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you ca'n't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

A comeback, Joe Montana made comebacks, as did John Elway . . . Kevin Costner is trying with his newest movie though he failed with the previous. Is it possible for Andebos to make an elusive comeback after all these silent weeks? When old friends reunite there are moments where we're tempted to try and explain everything that's been happening in the distance between us. However, you realize that it almost makes the gap wider because you weren't there for all the experiences. Perhaps that's necessary though. Perhaps it's necessary to realize our lives are widening as every new second passes by us. Perhaps we realize that instead of squeezing and trying to look closer, we release and let our eyes blue on the background...only to allow the freedom and joy of focusing upon one thing - not trying to make something that isnt there real.

Perhaps, I will catch you up to an extent if you will only release and let your focus go where it goes. School is wrapping up and I am relieved. There will be some majoy shifts in that area next year and reasonably so - hopefully the shifts will continue to increase for the betterment of all. On the homefront there are little to no girls on the horizon, there are the close and intimate friends but nothing moving forward past that, despite what you might believe or hope. The beach and the summer are fastly calling and my heart is getting wider to a lot of things that I once never knew...all these things are making me wonder and say, what a mad world. We must be mad - or else why, oh why, would we ever reach out to love or try and make a change . . . a ripple . . . in all the chaos that is around us. Perhaps, we are called to reunite the past, to connect the loose strings, and maybe it does begin with hearing the stories and being present. Hopefully I can make myself more present here since the temptation for me at least, is to be present only for myself.... without further awaiting - here is the start of a successful comeback!
