That’s the me of yesteryear; before I lost my
sight.
Who was I then? Hmmm… I had a spiffy haircut. I had loads of
friends. I loved
playing, running, hiding and seeking. I loved kissing my mom and dad good night.
I hated feety pjs – too binding and hence my abhorrence to this day of wearing
button shirts and ties. Yuck! I had no prejudices – except for a general
dislike of peas and a predilection towards the color blue.
It was my wont to wander. I would find something that caught my eye
and I would drop everything to explore. Still do. I did a lot of exploring
and unlearning in my
travel articles in Australia entitled The Buddha’s
Striptease. That was the
beginning when I realized life was not in the amassing of knowledge, in wealth
or in various personas.
Life was not in the addition but in the subtraction. I am living each new day
less than I was before.
I am still on my personal Striptease. Follow along and sing if you know the
words.
My goal is to be that tyke of yesteryear and see once again.
