How is one supposed to recognise themselves in a shop window reflection if we slow down for a moment as we make our way through such a confusing world? Religion, ritual, social habbits, change and desire. There are a buffet of options and a myriad of rules to accompany them. Cultural zeitgeist pressures, the almighty dollar, star signs and relationships add to the soon to be self-combustion of modern life, so what is the answer? With so many theories on long life, better sex, ways to a fulfilling existence, vitamins, antibiotics, recreational drugs and all that jazz, does anyone notice that we are destined to be the generation of the under-30 burn out? Oprah tells us that salmon, blueberries and a glass of red wine makes for stronger brain power and a happier homosapien, while others ignore the preservation of life in place of living for the moment - how ever you choose to do that. There are locations around the world known as 'blue zones' where the locals live to 105 and still herd goats at 7am sharp. and then there's ibiza. In doing any number of these things, Who are you really keeping your head above water for? no wonder it's hard to keep track of yourself. It comes down to tradition and practice - do what you love, and do it well.
