You know how it is … that first flush of passion, the carefree, heady days of summer, dreams that were the driving force to reaching seemingly impossible heights of achievement … all slowly lose momentum and life settles down to a routine. You accept that age is creeping up and that there may be the odd wrinkle appearing, but it is not really important. Size really doesn’t matter. Life is predictable, un-threatening, but perhaps becoming a little too easy. Complacency rules OK.
Then suddenly, you realise that a life changing moment has just hit you between the eyes. Across a crowded room, a vision presents itself before you and things will never be the same again. The one that had been the focus and centre point of your very life, involving every waking thought, every motive, every dream, has been pushed into the background and a new passion has burst into your soul.
Of course, you apply reason. Why abandon the known and comfortable for the new and unknown? Surely those old emotions and feelings can be re-kindled? You will lose so much. All the plans you have, now to come to nothing.
Guilt assails. How can you be so cruel? Heartless! No loyalty! Fickle!
But … all to no avail. You are smitten. The heart rules the head. Reason is silenced. Guilt is banished to the abyss.
You just have to have it.
Then, without a backward glance, the deed is done.
So – goodbye. I hope you find a good home with someone who will love, honour and cherish you. No hard feelings – please. Perhaps we might meet sometime in the future, - you know, one of those unplanned co-incidences of a chance encounter.
Goodbye HyLo.
And … Helloooooo Dimension. Come in, sit down, please feel at home, stay awhile. This could be the start of a long and enjoyable friendship.
