Cool Breeze

The Age of Reconfiguration

No more candles for my birthday cake. The image of me blowing them out makes me think of the goddess Athena. One day Athena was playing her flute when a group of rowdy gods showed up and started laughing at her because blowing on the flute puffed up her cheeks just like a chipmunk’s. Humiliated, Athena threw the flute on the ground and never played it again.

Age transforms us and it’s not always easy to adapt to this change. To adapt to this change, I am slowly putting together my own self-help manual and about the need for personal reconfiguration.

…some years later…

On my birthday two years ago, I posted about The Age of Reconfiguration, the age when we have to face up to the fact that we are aging and we need to update our mindset accordingly. For the rest of the year, I drafted my Reconfiguration Project, finished it during the fall while still in Greece, and, back in Rome, renamed it “Cool Breeze”.

In Hinduism, Kundalini is a form of divine feminine energy believed to be located at the base of the spine. Once this energy is awakened, you can feel your own vibrations that, if balanced, emit vibrations that feel like a Cool Breeze.

But then Covid-19 bullied its way into our lives and dominated our minds. Thus Regular Life and the completion of my Reconfiguration Project were put on stand-by. A few days ago I rediscovered the manuscript stored in a cabinet and, after dusting it off a bit, decided to resuscitate it.
