Summing up 2021
As the sun shines brightly into the last afternoon of 2021, and I am packing my bag to go climbing (for there is no better place to bid someone goodbye then from the mountains), I am penning this post as my last one of 2021. Actually when I woke up this morning I wondered where did the year go, how did it go, when did it go. Looking back I realize that I couldn’t even recall the year gone by with any kind of clarity but only through a series of gobbled up hazy images. I think I have clarity of only this month. Am I losing it, is my mind heading into a black hole of anonymity! Or have I now become such an adapt at selective memory (something I have practised all my life) that anything more remote than the past 30 days, my mind automatically deletes from conscious memory. Perhaps that’s the reason why I seem to be getting happier, more excited and optimistic day by day. Without a memory of the past there’s actually nothing to regret about, and that is a blissful state to be.
