Good morning to you, dearest of estranged readers.
Here's a fully fledged promise for you, one I shall surely be able to keep......I hereby promise never to promise you anything again!
You recall that a while back I made one of those traditional January 1st mistakes, like so many millions of others, uttered those inspirational yet also awfully hollow words, "My New Year's resolution is...". I swore to provide you, dear reader, with a carefully crafted blogument on a regular basis. Provide or burden perhaps. Although my heart and mind were sincere, my daily grind interfered and the bloguments fell by the wayside. Not that I did not attempt to convey my innermost darkness..... There are a number of tentative bloguments still awaiting a strong stab at the 'Publish' button......it's just a matter of whether this scribe has the strength of character to proceed or will the weakness, the fear, the doubt, the memories and the pain continue to act like the most impenetrable of prisons and continue to disable as they do.
Who knows? I certainly don't. Maybe the lyrics of that old friend of mine, SK, will forever ring true. He spat these words with such voracity that every time I hear the track Battle With The Beast (you can find it on Soundcloud...
http://soundcloud.com/nedos/battle-with-the-beast ) the burning tears well up and I battle my own beast....... The words read:
"In my brain there's a box and that box has a lock and that lock can't come off no matter what"
You should give that track a listen. A real listen. More than once or twice. Open your inner demons to it. Feel it's force because it's written and performed by one of the sincerest human beings I ever met. And what you'll hear being delivered is more honesty than you'll hear in a millennium of parliamentary questions.
What I do know is that since my previously published blogument I have experienced a completely unexpected reality shift. A metamorphosis of meteoric proportions. It's been the best of times and the worst of times. I'll tell of it all when I am able. When I am able both emotionally and legally!
