"Decade" party, and kudos, on an excellent start of a second decade in life, and may the first and all the rest of the steps following in the Tardis that is life, be forth,with a lightsaber-cutting wit and the people to share it with! May the Force be with you, my young Padawan, and may the building blocks in your life, continue to combine as love and imagination dictate! ;-D
And the sugarcoating, was not only on the birthday cake but in the luring words of the wannabe council members at the square, under the sycamore trees that have witnessed so many "θα" in over a century, words, words, that don't always come cheap, but very few deeds...
-You know, there's such a thing as an ideology? Which you don't have?
And the guy, with the skittery glance that will not look you in the eye, moves away, thinking of the next bought votes, people's consciousness, (or lack of) for hire... Tit for tat.... And it's a good thing to know, that at least, in one table, in the shade from the almost blazing sun, next to the bay, there is such a thing as ideology and respect in the everyday life of a generation, not yet altogether lost.
And as you get out of the bar for a moment, just checking where Orion is in the sky, you walk into the news vans, sat disks on top, and you wonder.... Food for thought...
Till everything clicks into place, and you realise that you share spacetime with the "future" Prime Minister, so no wonder why all the racket..... And sitting at the bar, with the blasting music and the night catching on to a rhythm usually reserved for the summer months only, in the middle of our three bar stools, the laughter going round and round, and the cozy, comfortable talk of years past, of the present, the future, the mind gathers around all the building blocks of people and events that led to this specific moment in time....
And from the apparent havoc of new moments, new people, new events, new ways of structuring the next second, the next moment, the next thread in your life, you put your hand out, and you start anew, with all the knowledge of a well lived past, the comfortable voices in your ears and the reassuring smiles that come with them, providing a background you can lean on, making sure that all the noise of the little or big blocks that don't match, will not hinder your way.....
"Relationships are like Legos... once you establish compatibility, you can build them in every which way...."
