HIDDEN STUFF

HIDDEN STUFF

Too many years ago, in Riyadh, a Cypriot neighbor's five year old son confessed to hiding his mother's wedding ring, There was a huge search in the simple accommodation provided by the employer, but the ring did not show up. And Christos never remembered where it was hidden, although he was proud that he had found the best hiding place.

As time flies as it is meant to, we hide other things,  mostly memories, experiences, esoteric knowledge, faces, names, mathematical and magical and mystical formulas, unnecessary useless derivatives and integrals or vectors.

Some of these are secreted away intentionally. Other thoughts, data and feelings are unintentionally put into rooms with strong doors and locks and chains, requiring significant and sometimes, tortuous and painful dispensation to break in, even possibly some not very welcome bodily invasion. When this type of cache is opened the stuff found in the room and through the invasion may easily become subjects of fearful dreams. That is a part of what life is about, I say, "Just bear it and continue rolling the ball of worthless, wormless compost towards the looming horizon."
