HIATUS

not the most auspicious of starts to the yew near
fireseed awakes this morning feeling like trash
dull headache and blocked nasal passages
maybe a cold coming on
can't sleep it off
that glass of aussie shiraz last night
one glass too many it seems for poor old ageing fireseed
wander round the local neighbourhood
in a dogged search for some wholemeal bread
but it fails to clear the head
(the walk not the toast)
coffee and painkillers don't help much either
watch 'bambi' with hannah
try to explain what happened to bambi's mum and why
then bail out for an afternoon nap
[hannah interrupts to proffer playdough biscuits]
h is in good spirits today
she's suddenly turned five in korean
despite being only three and a half according to the western calendar
koreans already a year old when they're born, see
then they age another year when january comes round
guess that means a baby born in december
is already two a month later!
as for fireseed
well n truly in hibernation mode
lazy days
constantly craving sleep
everything feels like too much trouble
not sure if that's a good or a bad thing
but it always happens every christmas n new year
not the ideal time for revolutions maybe
but here goes...
*keep 'the art of living' alive
*arrive early for appointments and meetings (recycled from last year)
*challenge conformity and abandon certainty
*nurture creativity
*replace hate and anger with understanding and compassion
*get back into regular yoga
*remember: positivity and constructiveness at all times
