Dear Nearly: Part 5 "Flashover"

it hit me like a bolt of lightning, not in its fatal power but in its alien intensity, which felt like a bath of 300 kilovolts. sure, it sounds like the "sighty" but it was much more of an external flashover because i never fully attained it yet it consumed me. and now i write, which is probably an unpromising venture. even so, i thought you should know, people embrace change, Nearly. "get to the point" you say, "i've got work to do." and yes i do know that January & February are your busiest months, where you prowl on weakened human will and ceremonious commitments; so i won't be taking up all your time. i think people won't be satisfied, Nearly, without change within change. for instance a new job means new people; a new house means new neighbors; a new member of the family (whether through marriage or birth), means more new members; and new etc, means vague possibility. change in change is like a passive greeting to the future, as changes for improvemnt remind us that we are all works in progress. don't suspend change in change by bringing them close to newness, only to make that newness vanish. allow people to meet and mingle; jest and laugh; vow and honor; work and earn. i guess, what i'm trying to say is ,"take a vacation for a while and when you return, you'll find the world full of fulfillment and lacking "almosts". like i said, i never fully contained it, yet it consumed me, and i now realized the reason is because i recieved a message for you that resonates in my circumstance: maybe while i renew my vacation from you, you should take vacation from the world...(photo by: Tatsuya Sato)
