A Few of My Not-Favorite Things
We look at the past over our shoulders, smiling and sighing for the dear old days gone by. Life was cleaner, we think, less cluttered, simpler, more authentic. Well, that's bullshit. Life was life as it always is, full of beauty and terror and the inevitability of death. Yes, I dream of parallel universes, alternate planes of existence; I have my midnights in Paris that make it possible for me to get out of bed to grapple with the plane I inhabit now. But when I catch myself romanticizing the past I turn to history and remember the blood-soaked sand of the Colosseum, the great scythe of the Black Death, the rack and the guillotine and the stake, the sixteen-hour workdays of Victorian servants and the Triangle Shirtwaist fire. I think of smallpox and polio, of children pulling carts in mine tunnels and soddies and outhouses in winter and on and on through the catalogue of cruelty and miseries we have conquered or abandoned. And even though what I've remembered are none of my favorite things, then I don't feel so bad. Eat that, Oscar Hammerstein. ~ copyright 2015 RC deWinter
