Eating the Elephant

A  L  O  H  A !

“ Elephants don’t know 

anything about 

the world of ants; 

the peaks of mountains 

are oblivious of 

what is happening 

on the plains!” 

                  Mehmet Murat ildan

“They say that 

somewhere in Africa 

the elephants have 

a secret grave 

where they go 

to lie down, 

unburden their wrinkled 

gray bodies, and 

soar away, light spirits 

at the end.” 

                  Robert McCammon

 So HOW do you 

eat the elephant 

in your room?

ONE bite at a time!

Just Sometimes

A  L  O  H  A !

" No great discovery 

was ever made 

without a bold guess. " 

                                Newton

" Dwelling on the negative 

simply contributes 

to its power. "

" Life is too 

deep for words,

 so don't try 

to describe it, 

just live it. "

Rather strange words 

for a novelist and 

essayist on 

the deepest topics!

Wouldn't you say?

Sometimes, 

despite my best efforts, 

my head spins faster 

and faster like a toy, 

then it goes flying off 

in some random direction. 

Sometimes 

it flies quite far, and 

always unpredictably. 

Happy to report that

 I have retrieved my head 

and it is now sitting 

back on my neck, 

though not securely 

fastened as of yet. 

It remains a bit wild. . . . 

Fortunately years and years 

of being 'over sensitive' 

have given me ample 

opportunity to develop 

skills that even the 

most even tempered 

require from time to time. 

When my head flies 

around the corner 

like Daffy Duck, 

I know what to do, 

and often 

even DO IT! 

So here's to life, 

occasionally over-stimulating life!

Long may I wave. 

And look! 

I can see YOU 

waving back to me!  

Delightful

                  Fondly, cloudia
