A ‘New Order’ is going to have to be established - arriving here without the slightest clue as to what I’m going to write is not the way to go about this. I don’t necessarily want to think about it ‘all day’ but some mental exercise must be done prior to getting here - otherwise, I will find myself constantly pressed to find a topic worthy of putting down on (virtual) paper. Another realization is - just that; that by making myself do this daily, I’ve created for myself. the need to be more topical, focussed, and point-driven, if you will. It’s fine for me to ramble on at will when the dialogue is meant to be confined to a journal - but journalling in public requires a certain amount of refinement and perhaps an exposition (maybe two), which is then, tied up nicely (bows are preferable in the end) at its conclusion or summation - this, does not fit that mould - at least, not yet.
Vessels and Vehicles - both excellent means of transporting precious goods as both are containers of sorts (I’m not quite sure how we got here but I’m sure there’s a reason) and are often used to convey their contents to some specified point - in the case of a vessel, its contents might be carried into the future for example - take wine (but not too much); its contents are often left to age in the bottle and thenceforth, ‘carried’ into the future, serving some future purpose - the skull, as a bowl, contains a precious object capable of transporting something finer than even the best wine, for it holds within it creation and from this source, all else springs.
I would like to think that, ‘the skin atop the skull’ (to reverse a bit of P. D. James), and more precisely, that which grows upon it, reveals nothing in terms of how dense (in terms of structure, mind you) the mass beneath - for, sadly, my own pate seems to be follicularly challenged, and grows more so with each passing day. I’ve made the best of what remains and have fallen into the trap of ‘boosting’ its appearance with shampoos, etc, that boast an ability to promote a fuller head - but the results are always sadly lacking. And now, indignity of indignities, I’ve had a ‘small patch’ removed for purposes of study. In my case, ‘small’ is a very, very relative term, given that the spacing of each follicle becomes greater moving forward toward the Coronal suture, until it stops altogether at a point much higher above the eyes then is necessary, in my opinion.
To make a long story short - I’ve had a bad hair day. There! I’ve said it (It’s not actually true - but I’ve been searching ‘vainly’ for a topic and this one hit the nail on the head, so to speak). I wish I had more to offer but it’s late and I must go to bed.
Tomorrow, remind me about that Aesop fellow again - I’ll see if I can remember what it was I wanted to say about him…
