constellations

Yesterday’s post was on Sandalwood and today’s post is about time and constellations. Time: It somehow does not exist, being a construct of little value. Yet, it imposes heavy constraints on us.

I started writing this post on the train, after a day flooded with meetings that are part of a decision making process and that seem to pop up in my agenda like waves coming from far away places, finding their way to the beach, rise in a moment to a short climax and disappear into nothingness. Well, you guessed right: It was a difficult day with difficult meetings. And it was a day entirely not devoted to perfumes and perfumery.

Almost. There was a moment, buying cheese over lunch for a Fondue in the evening, when for a short moment scents became relevant: I discovered Lavender syrup but did not buy it. ….Which already now makes me feel sorry because I really wonder what it tastes like. I missed the moment, the window in time and space when this syrup popped up and I wonder how many important moments there were in my live when something popped up and I missed it.

Or looked at it from the other way: To which extend are we there where we are just because an unlikely constellation of people, places, ideas and situations arose and lucky us, we did the right thing. So, let’s hope for the next lucky constellation when working on the leather theme again, peacefully without any meetings ahead….
