Musings on my Second Act
|
Musings on my Second Act "Life is both fucked and fuckable." He laughed when I wrote that. My take o.n the iconic Dickens opening line of “A Tale of Two Cities”, updated into the modern vernacular because it is a more perfect summation of my life these last few months. I mean, 2020 has crept up on al.l of us unawares, but it creeped up &then sucker-punched me right in the gut. For once, I’ve got a secret and it’s my secret keep or tell. I’ve kept others’ secrets, often for years, but this one? This one is mine t.o do with as I will. So, I have t.o write about it, talk about it, blog it, vlog it, even wrote a song about it. yeah, and b.a.d. poetry, I’ve written some really bad, drunk poetry. This is my journey now; this road I’m meandering down. I’m inviting you come along for the ride. I’ll try stay the course between those painted white lines on the highway; between fucked and fuckable, and hopefully discover what the new normal looks like for m.e.  ~~~" Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift." --Mary Oliver~~~ |

So put the pedal to the metal and remember us at the rest areas.

Your blog-title is mindful of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who wrote, "I once thought that there were no second acts in American lives". Cynics have appropriated and truncated this line to a more pessimistic quip, with which many are more familiar. I am confident you will validate Fitzgerald's change of heart on the possibilities of reinvention. My outlook being generally positive, I am convinced that 2020 will be relegated to the dustbin of History (notwithstanding its endless retelling and analysis by *ink-stained wretches*). Although millions of lives have been taken or ruined, we will find our way across this miserable landscape to some *new normal*. Humankind has survived worse. As to your *secret*, my sense is that it is consequential only to you. To that effect, bear in mind that among our greatest regrets in Life are the things we did not say.

You are an excellent writer and thinker a nice break from the incessant "pictionary" blogs... I believe it was F.Scot Fitzgrald who said there are no second acts in America, but at least there are second helpings.. life as a buffet table
