The Red Queen




~“A slow sort of country” said the Red Queen. “Now here, you see, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”~ (From "Through the looking glass" by Lewis Carroll

That particular quote has certainly been running as fast as it can through my brain lately. The more i try to stand still and assess the world the around me, the more it seems to shift. And i appear to currently lack the energy and possibly even the ability to run fast enough to change anything, let alone keep things the same.

From one moment to the next, one phone call to the next, one email, one sigh, one breath to the next, it's as though each moment is of the utmost urgency, yet seemingly overwhelmed with a satirical sense of deja vu.

How much longer must this ride go on like this, before i can finally get off and throw up?
