Looking Back onto Yesterday in a Rearview Mirrow of Tomorrow

Somehow it is of a surprising impact on me that a flurry of anniversary congratulations would make it into a watershed of sorts when though hard and fast ties are in an imperceptible flux even though I keep telling myself that everything is the way it was an emotional bond stays, another gets rediscovered and a smattering of other connections emerge in what is nothing else than a web 2.0 effect on outstretched social ties that spanning the globe give a totally different sense of connectedness and belonging than a face to face society of yore would, which brings me to a personal aftermath of displacement, diaspora and exile that though for me stopped being neatly contained in those terms is still of relevance to others who probably cannot as easily shake off their legacies of belonging to other places and shores in favour of a more cosmopolitan personality that I have to become in order to move on towards opportunities that I have to try myself at opening myself to, unless my actual performance, circumstances out of my control and a plain confluence of random events make me write a similar piece next year in a more somber key.
