The New Start

It's been a long year. A year of start that has yet to. It all started with a plan that seemed perfect, then for a time hopeless, followed by a breakthrough, and finally a long, slow break down. After leaving the States and spending some time travelling here and there I migrated to Australia. I came with an abundance of hope that is now only a trickle, savings that have long ago vanished, and dreams that I still only dream of.

But in a year full of desperate struggles, I have discovered that I'm only one of the many that seemed called on as a guest and then left out to wait in the cold.

We were told that engineers were 'urgently' needed; we are still being told that. But what's to be seen is that only people with 'local experience' and required. Now, only if I could get my hands on some of that! That's a catch-22 that has all of us running in circles, only our circles have very little radius, and the only way out is down.

You would think: what a way to re-start my blog! Here I am shooting a spree of complaints all across you. What do I expect of you - help? No, my friend, I expect neither help, nor sympathy, only thought. If you ever think your life is becoming a tireless loop, think twice about jumping out. The waters may be deeper than you think. Of course, it is certainly not an advice to not jump. Just think, that's all.

But, even so. Amongst the desperation and struggling, my life has not been eventful. There is lots to share.
