MISTY, MURKY, and INDECIPHERABLE
Sunday, June 12, 2022
 
 
When we realize something for the first time – the ‘obvious, “Why did I not notice?” things’ – there is a slow-motion reaction, from laughter at the absurdity through to comic rage about the stupidity of now knowing and, then, relief of knowing followed by assorted and sundry hand-wringing about knowing.
 
This new reality of realization has hit me recently, 50+ years late, and the elements are too numerous to mention here. It’s not about common sense vs. stupidity; it’s about not knowing what there was to know. But now I know. How I got this far in life without anyone else noticing is easy to understand now. Still, like anything that snaps the status quo’s rubber band, turning everything into upside-down mode is entirely different.
 
There is a story, and the telling strikes me as more straightforward than doing the work, but doing the work, I must.
