Crashed mind, crashed body..

There is a short walk , a nice walk between the two places where I have to submit the deliverables.

The first place, the stress had built up, the stress was underneath though piling up on other things and I didn't realise how bad it was. I submitted.

I walked to the second place, Submitted and came out thinking that I could skip jump run and go and do other things like which I used to do years ago after high stress things like exams.

I could not move. Back felt stiff. Body felt tight. Legs heavy. Mind also feeling exhausted as I contemplated the next set of chores.

It was that kind of exhaustion which also prevented sleep from coming. I managed to move slowly to where I was going.
I accessed sugar which was stupid because I know that I should try to stretch.

I managed to move around.. go to places.. but all the time.. it was heavy. Fortunately there was a place with good music. It helped a bit.

I tried going down on the floor.. come on man, you have to stretch..
Stretching requires energy, it also releases energy. 

Much as I need it.. I keep thinking.. let me try a bit at a time.. but it not working.

I do the list of tasks to be done in my head. Mistake. makes me more heavy.

Brain shuts down. Hoping that I would wake up feeling refreshed and energetic.

Wake up feeling worried.. the feeling is still there. I try bending and so to loosen up .. but even bending . it is not releasing the remaining tension which is holding back.

Thinking I should lie in bed and rest, but I have a feeling that rest is not what is needed. I have to loosen the body.. get it moving, but it seems I have to get my mind moving.

And my mind is not moving as fast as it should.. it seems to be whirling around in circles rather than just being steady.

I am fighting between sitting and doing nothing and getting on with the things to do But that stupid fighting is not good.

At some point I will move.

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...

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 fore...

Going into the unknown at the Indigenous Heritage Exhibtion 2024

Image
 (The Moving Circle of Artists' work is presented in the 2024 Indigenous Heritage Exhibition at Castellani House until 30 September, 2024. ) There was no print catalogue available. The QR code image was around, but I did not have the technology to use the QR code even with assistance of the attendants. I hope the organisers will put labels on the work items for viewers who cannot access the QR code. I apologise to the artists whose work I reference without the proper attributions Going into the unknown Place hot and I feeling a lil jumpy despite the yoga routine earlier in the day. Some unexpected challenges which pile up and then come in to chill out in the gallery and find that I have to do guess work on the art and so. Switch my mind, thinking yeah, go into the unknown.  NO titles to guide you.  Friends on social media had shared pictures of some of the most striking pieces so there is a familiarity in a way. And a helpful attendant shows the PDF on his phone to che...
