#reshuffling

The original core three (B, C, and A)are nowhere to be found.

And the formerly secondaries (E, D, and F) are now the only ones here…

But we’ve changed.

It’s like in working through shit… our brain has reshuffled our cards. Putting some in the discard, and making three larger hands out of what was six or so.

We no longer need our trauma holders or guy who copes with shit.

We can now work through our shit… as still fucked up as our beautiful brain is lol.

But onward…

Also we may change our individual names…

Though over all we are still wren.

More so than we were before.

A wren with less hurt.

In silence, in the dark, the tides shine, get slippery, their fluidity turns them into a mirage. There’s a persistent hum to the ocean that translates into a back-and-forth movement of our body. Walls disappear and new visual formations invade the imagination. One is not in usual dimensions. Sleep belongs to the past, and the hours too. Luminosity enmeshed with darkness makes us cross over new territories. You move into galaxies in a few seconds, space-time becomes just a game.

Thinking is dimmed when familiar forms of reality disappear. This is not a loss. Long periods of inner silence favor clearings, they let the light in, the flooding, the blinding, the bedazzlement. We need spaces for the reshuffling of new cards, need to be nowhere. Thinking doesn’t always come from preceding thoughts: I suspect it’s always being born, even when it seems related to the past.

Big Reshuffle Day One didn’t go fairly as deliberate for Theresa May, what with the phrases “disastrous,” “shambolic” and “embarrassing” scrawled in varied sizes on the fronts of all of the newspapers.

She’d set out with each intention of reshuffling the ministers contained in the departments, but once they refused to be reshuffled she needed to reshuffle the names of the departments they ran as…

Sabah CM hails MCA, Gerakan rejoining Cabinet

KOTA KINABALU, June 26:

Sabah Government welcomes the recent reshuffling of the Federal Cabinet and expressed happiness that their political friends in MCA and Gerakan are now part of the decision-making group.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman, in saying this, added the Cabinet now was picture perfect and reflected the 1Malaysia concept with the addition of leaders from the Chinese community.

“Initially, they were reluctant to accept positions in the Cabinet, but we are glad that they have put that behind and are now part of the pact.

“This will further strengthen the existing Federal Cabinet alliances and I am sure it will benefit the people as a whole.

“It is also our hope that all Barisan Nasional component parties will take their place and serve the nation and people.”

He said this after presenting Yayasan Sabah’s State Scholarship Award to 25 recipients at the Tun Mustapha Tower, today.

Musa, meanwhile, urged Malaysians who excelled educationally abroad to come home and serve their country and people.

He said although he sounded like a broken record, he stressed that the services of students who pursued their education abroad would be valuable to the country, especially in further developing the nation.

“We would like to avoid brain drain which means our bright citizens staying put abroad instead of returning home to serve the nation. It will be such a waste of good talents.”

Musa said the country, in particular Sabah, had gone through transformation economically, thus the need for more bright and skilled manpower.

“Your (students abroad) expertise is valuable to the nation and we need you here,” he said, while reminding those who are pursuing their studies outside Malaysia to come back and work in the country.

Every once in a while Zuma throws a curve ball and decides to reshuffle his cabinet. He fires and hires and does it suddenly. His most recent reshuffle was back in July and the new ministers were sworn in in a ceremony at the President's guest house on July 10th. 

This assignment was stressful. We found out last minute about the ceremony and I was the only photographer around. I drove in the same car as the deputy editor of the M&G and we left late. Arriving at the gate we didn't have accreditation so we had to talk our way in (Again, I still find it amazing how easy it is to get close to President Zuma!). I was carrying a tripod and video camera for a reporter who was supposed to show up to film the ceremony and an interview that was going to happen after. She and the other photographer who was supposed to meet us there never made it so I was stuck doing the video and photo. It was STRESSFUL! Because we showed up late I missed the first minister being sworn in and then I had to scramble to try to set up the tripod and video camera.
