When the term is used – often, it alludes to a state of revival – the idea that something old or current is given new energy – or a new lick of paint – as it were.
|
|
What does this look like for the human who has survived the scourge of a battering pandemic, soul-eroding pessimism despite defiant optimism? I don’t know... we are not done walking yet…

Just when you think you can’t give anymore – some 2nd wind comes – and it gives one that push across the finish line. Whether that’s the umpteenth revision to a PhD thesis (which finally loaded and landed on my kop in Dec 2020). Or a repeat presentation to that one 'prospective' client – until you realise they are ‘indulging’ you and have no desire to engage the mind you’ve put to use to help leaders build brands of high-influence that have grown companies and people from here to Gabon and everywhere in between. When you are spent – there’s a tendency to create more – assuming (falsely) that the doing is what will give one more energy to carry on – how mistaken!

|
It means this is my last missive to you.
|
|
However, it does not mean this is the end of our conversation though... hip hip hooray...
|
We can continue our conversation on:
|
And hopefully in not too long a gap – we shall commune on bookshelves where good books are sold as well as on screens that stream high-quality documentary content.
|
Please don’t be a stranger.

On My Mind: Homi.K.Bhaha - The location of culture . A poignant reminder that cultural production is always most productive where it is most ambivalent and transgressive. Therefore immersion beyond the superficial is the only way to deepen out understanding of humans and advance social change.
