I read a recent theory somewhere that we are all born as Siamese twins. Fortunately, for most of us, this Siamese twin is obviously underdeveloped. I didn't think the idea to be all that far fetched. It would actually explain all the internal dialogues, as well as for example the sometimes contorted impulses we have. It could however, also be considered a really bad excuse for not controlling those impulses.
I don't know. Do with that info what you will.
btw Is Moira still around?
Oh yes, indeed!
Because of the heat, my eyes (the glare) and a general sense of feeling victim of global warming (one measure I apply is this: where there were, say, peaks of 36 degrees during the day, the degree numbers don't always go upwards, but they
last longer at that level), I have been leaving it later into the evening before going out with the affection bribes.
The other evening I was particularly late, and the field was empty. Nonetheless, I gave two finger-whistles, and to my surprise, she came out from behind some structure in the next field, and actually broke into a trot or gallop - who knows? - up to the fence and got her reward. She does a lot more standing still in trance in summer. Saw a docu. on Woodstock a couple of nights ago; I think she might have enjoyed that - except for the music. She gets precious little grass or rain, in fact she has access to more rock than grass, and when it does rain, she rolls in the mud to cover herself in it as probable protection against ticks and flies and other predatory things with wings and stings. No fool, she.
I'm not sure about the twin thing; perhaps its nature's way of letting us cover our bets, and also to blame ourselves for some of the shit that goes down. Free will has certainly got more than a little to do with it. Which raises the question: are we all equipped to handle free will, or might it be a blessing too many?
