is the day I remember 1996. Religious "experts" were counting down to 2000. Scientific experts were also counting down, alerting all and sundry that a binary crush was in the offing. During this period there was so much "biblical evidence" of the world coming to an end. There were "facts", comparisons, television programmes, magazines, gospel revivals etc and you know what, 2000 came... and went. No binary crush, no big anticipated changes, no end of the world. One day you are in 1999 and next day is the 1st of January, 2000 - a new decade. Today, 11 years 10 months into the new decade, look who is still around?
So, whats with this habit of doing exactly the same thing, stuck in the same place, same beliefs, same fears, same restlessness for so many years? A bit like Moses and the wilderness (forty odd years was it?) Other people did so much during the same period. It does not necessarily boil down to accomplishments..... even lack of them - anything tangible, or traceable or listable, or visible Today, instead of the machinations of breathing, eating, sitting and standing, did I make a memory, or create a stamp on life? If not mine, anyone else's?
