The Spin of the Ball

Video Games: I love fantasy video games, with elves and orcs and humans and loot. I’m currently playing an old one called Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014). I almost always play with a bow and arrow or a sword and shield. I never, ever use magic. I like to fight against it but I can’t wield it. Perhaps this is why I couldn’t get into Harry Potter. As usual, I’ve been over-analysing my aversion to magic. Does it represent my feeling of powerlessness? Have I not found my own super power yet? Well, I’m sure you guys don’t care so I’ll move on.

The Mirror: I like to think of the universe as a mirror. It shows you you from a different time or a different angle and your task is to forgive what you see in the mirror. If you don’t, you won’t be able to forgive yourself. You might see a version of you from 15 years ago, behaving as you used to. If you can’t accept what you see in the reflection, you might not be able to accept yourself.

And maybe the mirror is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.

The Picture: Perhaps God walks among us. Perhaps He is you (sorry for using He). Perhaps He forgot who He is. Perhaps He painted a picture so real, it fooled even Him.

Gregory’s Girl: When I was younger, my parents rented a movie called Gregory’s Girl. It was about a young man named Gregory who seemed to have a selection of girls to choose from. There was a line from one character: “So, who is Gregory’s Girl?” At a young age, I thought this Gregory to be rather unremarkable. Why did he have so many girls to choose from? Do I sound jealous?

Even if I find Joshua’s Girl, I know it won’t be the end. Perhaps I won’t find what I am seeking until I realise I was looking for the search.

Genesis: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was:

“God?”

“Who said that?”

“I don’t know. Who said that?”

“Me.”

“Oh, nice to meet you. What’s going on?”

“I don’t know.”

“Should we make something up?”

“Sure.”
