Cruciatus in crucem. Enough is Enough

Posted by Wayne (Melbourne, Australia) on 19 July 2007 in People & Portraits.

If you're wondering why my mug's up there...its because to put up a blog entry on Aminus3...you need a photo...and right now I'm just going to be honest and tell you that how I feel at the moment does not match up at all with the expression I have in the photo.

JUST when I think I've managed to get a grip on things...just when that ray of light starts to open up....things come crashing down like a house of cards.

I am reminded again of Yeats and his poem 'The Second Coming' where he writes, most eloquently, 'Things fall apart; The centre cannot hold' At this very moment...to stop short of creating a drama about my life (if it isn't a soap opera already), that sentence feels very much like an adequate summary of my life.

Bring the rains...and see if I can care anymore....I'm exhausted, broken and bleeding tired of whatever you can chuck my way.

Somehow the promise Yeats writes about...that 'surely some revelation is at hand' seems hollow and like all the other vacuous promises I've been told.

Haec credam a deo pio, a deo justo, a deo scito?
Tuus in terra servus, nuntius fui; officium perfeci
Cruciatus in crucem!
