Clockworks

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Legends and myths about clocks abound. Love is Clockworks is new to me though. When is love like clockworks? Bono sings that “love is like cold steel, to numb to feel. I don’t want to see…”

Clocks the antithesis to emotion. What do you think?

I love Johannesburg  – spent my whole childhood and early adult life there. As much as I believe that London has an awesome nightlife – I haven’t seen it rocking like Jo’burg. I will move back there tomorrow, or the next day.

I’ve also had my share of dodging bullets and out running car hijackers.

Most of all I thankfully recall countless Highveld sun rises touching the Monk’s Cowl.

A Mantelpiece clock on the fireplace mantel in the White House; a Long case clock next to the door inside the Oval Office.

Companions to power.

Cuckoo clock speech

Maybe this is why my beloved South Africa is so keen to show that we too aspire to brotherly love, peace and democracy…Watch the Third Man from 4:25 onwards.

Think I should send Mr. Zuma a cuckoo clock for his office wall?

Balance

Balance lies at the heart of a clock. No balance. No tick tock. No movement. No smile.
