I can feel it coming back again
Like a rolling thunder chasing the wind
Forces pulling from the center of the earth again
I can feel it

I'm blaming the haircut.
Instinctively we try, and try, and try again to make our outsides match our insides. This is how the inside gets a little closer to the outside.
If you manage to bring the two together -- easy for some, never achieved for others -- you're a fully realized person.
That's my theory.
I have lots of theories.
But this time. This haircut.
I keep thinking of Catherine from The Garden of Eden. The book, not the movie.
I told a friend, not too long ago, "Of course can keep things in a box in your head. You can keep them in a box for years and years and years. But they will always find a way out.
"And when they do, it can be a tidalwave."
When it's an inside you've been ignoring for years . . .
Or maybe a new inside . . .
I thought the box was empty.
It's not.
I want it to be empty. I thought it was empty. I really, really did.
But it's not.
So I am back, 15 years on and counting, to Diaryland.
As much as I appreciate your long long life's work, Diarylandrew, as grateful as I am for this forum, grateful down to the core, oh, I hope, I hope, I hope I don't need to stay very long this time.
