Having my coffee at Gloria’s yesterday afternoon, ( took some hours off to shop for a gift,) . I kinda of like the coffee there, cheap + many youngster give this a pass for they prefer SB or CB&TL), I started reading my papers. Amongst others , what attracts me, is the proverb “ When Pigs Can Fly”. The saying has been traced back to 'Proverbs of Scotland' (1862). Of course much coverage given on Swine Flu. I am following it very closely because I have booked my Bali holiday in June!! (how close) and hate the idea of cancelling my mid year break.
A flying pig is a symbol of an impossible event coming to pass. It’s a phrase used to descibe wishful thinking; can never happen kinda of thing. A lot of times , I hear that To me it has 2 levels of meanings. 1) A general one that affects the entire globe eg gay marriages. Who would have thought that it will one day be legalised? or an unprecendented black presidency and etc. and etc. 2) Another, is on a personal level. I started listing my own “Impossible list”. My point is over the several months I am going to ensure that some are taken off the list . This can only be achieved by dauntless resolution and unwavering faith.
How is your “Pigs can Fly” list?? Nothing is impossible , it takes time for sure.
