vow! vat a veekend!!!!
i vas at my daughter's dance competition in saskatoon this veekend and it vas, as usual, an over-vhelming experience straight outta compton!!!! ve vere paddling around from hotel to restaurant to dance thing and back again. of course the kids hit the pool at every opportunity leaving nothing to spare for any poor misguided adult to do at his/her leisure.
But, as always, there was a bright side to the whole event. we went to a zoo and really had a sweet time. i know what you're thinking, poor animals, zoos are evil. Now we all know that there is more to zoos than that but the animals are still captive and there was once a time when my comfy little heart would break when i looked into their sad little eyes, but now i'm just jealous of their relaxed demeanor. They're so smug in all their peaceful grass chewing. Even the eagles looked at ease in their captive lifestyle.
Overall, though, this is the stuff that dreams are made of: dance competitions, lousy food, tireless parentalism, hotel rooms, casually captive animals and no time to reflect on my reflection.
praise Allah and LOL

Global Ron becomes Reflective Ron. (or is that Reflexive Ron in post-modern terms?)
But at the Zoo, who was watching who? Were the caged animals, trading security of 3 meals a day and the absence of predators for their freedom envious or pitious of the fellow species voyeur gazing their way?
Did they have what all of mankind seek? (either through religion, parental support, the education system or even Ustream?) Security and a confidence within that security?
Life is full of cross-roads.... "weak from da weekend" seems to be one of those little intersections where you wonder which direction to head in, or worse, why am I standing gazing at the options in the first place?
And life was so automatic in youth! Why can't I re-kindle that worldview? And re-capture a less introspection at all costs outlook?
And the answer probably lies in the eyes of those emerging adults you have created and nurtured..... positively influencing their destiny is a sufficient partial answer to the big question to keep running with the caravan-masters in the trek across the desert.
"Ah...trek across the desert" muses Global Ron reaching for his guitar. "Might be time for a little song".
you rule the wide world of modern repose. you are the empire that is striking back. you are the sun, i am the moon, you are the words, i am the tune...
