Oh, the whole thing is mad! Mad! An awful misunderstanding! It's improbable! Impossible!
I was only five minutes too early...

Hi Lucia...

It's a quote from one of Dostoevsky's stories "A Gentle Creature". I wrote it because the whole irony of it fits my life perfectly; actually, the original quote was: "Oh, the whole thing is mad! Mad! An awful misunderstanding! It's improbable! Impossible!
I was only five minutes too late..."

quote Lucia..!
Is life Mad for you or is the irony that you are sane, understood and possible..?.

You seem the gentle creature to me..

I think it is rather the irony that I always seem to have a different rhythm from everything around me, so everytime there is some kind of interraction between me and something/one else, the effect is something similar to a deficient clock mechanism: in their attempt to move, the wheels either break or get stuck.

wow..your good..

I relate to this, timing is important and generally i only find a comfortable rhythm when i 'go with the flow', but my wheels do get stuck and when they do, its time-out and i rest..
Great post Lucia..

and if it wasn't for your comments i probably wouldn't have reminded myself of the importance of a rhythm in sync.
Thankyou Lucia..

:-) I'm glad you relate to this; synchronization in particular and timing in general are the greatest ironies of my life...(or rather the lack of them)
