sardine sandwich

During the transition from one month to the next one might have fresh intensions or aspirations. Last month one experienced ups and downs. Perhaps this month Lohbado could avoid foolish behaviour or speech. More than likely, he will continue to say and do foolish things, from time to time, as long as discursiveness and confusion exists in his mind. Maybe the mind could slow down and relax. One could proceed with caution, in a methodical fashion. Maybe one experiences moments of inspiration, spontaneous rhapsody, surges of electric activity in the brain causing one to dance around and sing. Sometimes it’s fun to behave like a child. The pressures of existence... climate change, the refugee crisis, water and food scarcity, economic conflicts, relationship difficulties... the human condition is not easy. That’s when it helps to go for a bike ride, paint a picture, write a text, play the piano or guitar, record some video or meditate. Do whatever it takes to cheer up and not lose heart.

It’s hard to be an adult. It’s hard to be a parent.  It’s hard to be anything. The moral of the difficulty is to be patient, kind and understanding. Moralistic judgements are of no benefit. Even a lowly sardine sandwich is worthy of respect. That fish swam in the sea, ended up in a can. Someone harvested wheat and baked bread. All this occurred through people being organized in an intelligent manner. Sweet and sour, dark and light, conflict and harmony, aggression and friendliness... It’s like very old cheese. Very old cheese tastes good on toast or with a baguette.
