Remember one year ago yesterday?
So much “water under the bridge” since.
What bridge?
Where we’re at now: leaky boat, and we’re all on it . . .
I’d like to end this post with a suggestion as to how we can move out of the doldrums. Or rather, how can I move out of the doldrums.
But . . .
It’s as if, not only is our boat leaky, with gadzillions of opinions as to how or whether to fix the hole, or whether it even matters, or whether it’s even true — all quarreling opinions strong and/or hiding, in denial . . . and/or, all too often, utterly distracted by “the current thing,” whatever it is . . . but —
Hey you! Get out of the quarreling doldrums mess.
Draw back! Get perspective!
NOTICE! The boat itself is caught in a side eddy, swirling round and round.
Hmmm . . . What’s that roar I hear ahead?
Getting louder . . .
Waterfall?
Gigantic waterfall?
REALLY?
[Frantic]: Is there somebody on shore who sees our distress, is about to rescue us?
That’s the question of a hope-idiot.
Come up with a better question, Ann.
Perhaps it’s a Six of Swords boat, where the swords are paradoxically plugging holes in the boat. In that case, there IS an invisible helper steering the ship, and the shore’s in sight. Wouldn’t that be lovely. 🙂
That would definitely be lovely!
This is so how it feels Ann. The cartoon is perfect. We just have to do it ourselves like Henny Penny. No one is available to help or even want to know about the sinking vessel. This is how it feels for sure. So….we just keep on going and do ALL that we can.
Yep. I managed to get out of my own doldrums today by accomplishing a long postponed task I set out to do.
Regarding the boat: how about take the person with the smallest brain and stuff their head in the hole. Problem solved.
Your humor so biting that it might just bite that smallest brain’s head off first! Thanks. Made me both gasp and giggle.
