AMIDST OTHER
UNKNOWN CONDITIONS
I was born into an adventure I was never quite
sure of; one where nothing ever quite measured up.
And then, of course, like so much else - the early-
morning milkman, the bread-truck which delivered,
the froth of cream at the top of fresh-farm milk, it
was simply all gone. Those two large dots in the sky,
curiously - and with aplomb - both greatly
different in their distance from me, yet still
about the same size to see. Ah! now that's
Relativity! I weathered most storms, I was
able to ride most seas. My problem,
before too long, and mainly, had
become communication : if I knew
what I wanted to say, no one was
listening, and if someone was
listening, I then knew not
what to say.
