Blank document, baiganee, adultery and elusive stretches..

Mind whirling. Blank document Secret relief that client has not responded within the agreed time frame. Wild idea to write another thing and the two sentences do not become 1700 words.

Another inadvertent connection with the past and I think, moon.. please move and wonder if I could move further away from the moon to a place where I could be energetic and get through work and think up brilliant things and so.

Woman says she wants to find out 'how you keep going' and i want to tell her. that i am not going.. really and that the successful covering and masking are not going but spinning in a rut.

Craving baiganee and find it. Nice to chat. Seller is nice. Upbeat story and rapid identification that this is not the normal baiganee conversation. 
Good to hear of success.

Body feeling heavy. The baiganee with sour and  adulterous possibilities might not have good. Maybe lettuce and adultery would have been better.

 Backing down and thinking no no, not this.. but the flow is easy. 

Blank paper again.. I will finish this. I craft an email to say that there might be another way but pride again, NO.. I will not ask and be rejected again.

I will finish this.

Think of the days when I did yoga. The peppermint oil bottle is empty. The pursuit of wellness in pepper mint oil. Better than liquor though.

The stretches are reluctant and hesitant. Conscious efforts to relax the entire body. Pain is there.. and memory of when I used to run and then do the yoga routine.

Thinking.. move forward.. here and now.. stretch out the joints. ignore the pain. Some poses are no longer possible.  Elusive.. knees do not reach floor.. head does not reach knees..

Thinking that I should not write another blog and think about the blank document to be filled and reminding the client.

The blank document with two lines is still there. At some point before the deadline the 1700 words will appear.

Turpentine mango madness

Image
Some of the mango was stuck on the stubble around my mouth. I looked at the mirror, a bit of shame because I had just collected an invitation from a well dressed guy and I wonder how I must have looked to him.. look at dis big man .. he cyan eat mango good . Thing is.. wiping off mango from stubble is difficult.. and the casual swipe with a hand which might have some juice is also useless. The turpentine mango is useless when it is green - it tastes awful, like turpentine.  Mother Nature works a miracle because the ripe one though, is sweet, juicy, no strings and no turpentine taste. And the colours on the skins are bright yellow/orange/pink/purple/red shades that are probably meant to draw all species of mango lovers. The trouble with turpentine is that you cannot pick it green or 'turnin' ' to ripen like say how they do it with Spice mangoes.  You have to leave on the tree until there is some point.. when there is no taste of turpentine. So you look at the m

Re-writing Irfaan Ali's disgraceful statement after accepting his comrade's resignation

Image
  (President Irfaan Ali made a Facebook post in which he accepted the resignation of his comrade Nigel Dharmlall from the Cabinet and the Party. This is an imaginary rewriting of that statement) Fellow Guyanese, as you’re aware, I am in Trinidad and Tobago attending the 45th session of the Heads of Government meeting of CARICOM and the 50th anniversary of CARICOM.  Tonight I want to address you in relation to the allegation that was made multiple allegations of rape and sexual violence which have been made against Minister Nigel Dharamlall.  From the inception, I advised the population that I would allow the system to work.   I would never and the government would never intervene in the system. We’ve allowed an independent investigation; the minister proceeded on leave to ensure that an independent investigation was conducted. I recognise that many survivors of rape and other forms of gender-based violence do not trust the system to work because it has failed many times.  I ad

(The University of Guyana held Turkeyne & Tain Talks 2 on Monday 12 September, 2016 on Suicide Prevention . Dr Raquel Thomas-Caesar made a presentation based on her experience. This is the text of the presentation) by Raquel Thomas-Caesar I am not an expert on the issue of Suicide and Depression but this is my personal journey dealing with such issues. I have never spoken publicly about this at such a forum and I hope that it serves to help others even if only a small way- Dr Raquel Thomas-Caesar South East London,  June 9, 1995 As I sit under the tree, hidden from all eyes…I wait….to go. I wait to die. Then it hits me…OMG. I really don’t want to die. What have I done? My head is swinging, fuzzy, I can hardly walk. But I barely make it up and up the hill…I see two young black men in the distance…they come towards me, I could only imagine they thought I was on drugs..I beg for help. My Angels.  I wake up in the hospital. This was me- 21 years ago.  In a foreign land, drea
