A Metaphor
It's a sink hole? Sometimes called a swallow hole.
It made me curious. I had read of a sink hole swallowing a car in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
How close can you go before the sands suck on your heels? Is this a metaphor for life?
Poverty is a sink hole. Sometimes people can't climb out and they choke on the debts, the futility.
War is a sink hole—swallowing combatants— sending those who live home with pieces missing.
A sink hole opened and Lake Jackson disappeared—it lost its water, its fish and its alligators. The people of Tallahassee, Florida lost their favorite lake for fishing.

When I was a little girl, I curled up - dumb of terror - by seing Lawrence of Arabia being engulfed in quicksands. Was it Lawrence ? or another character of the film ? I don't know any more, I was so afraid ... I gewup, I aged ; I'm claustrophobic. I'm afraid of suffocating. I don't want to be choked.
I try to tame my new camera ; it's difficult. I'm not very gifted with technology. The telephone of my daughter phones, - but it's also a camera, a diary, an alarm clock, which communicates with Internet ; soon this thing will make the coffee ! My telephone phones, that's all. My "mind" is not "keen".
Every thing changes but nothing changes ; objects change, the human soul doesn't change.
I think that your "swallow hole" is the navel of each person. When I speak to my mother of the global warming, she says : "I don't care, I'll have died". After me the Deluge ... My mother is 81 years old, she is avaricious and grumbling ; I was never able to call her "mom". She wanted that I look like her, but I don't look like her. She wanted to choke my personality.
The French Administration tries to choke me. They want that I look like everybody ; they want that everybody looks like everybody - same clothes, sameideas, same behaviors ... They said to me : "You are reprehensible not for what you DO but for what you ARE!".
I think that the Westerners are falling in their own navel ; it's a very deep "swallow hole" ...

I stumbled on your post today and was reading through it. I found the sinkholes in Lake jackson quite fasinating. Then I recalled that there was an incident in Durban South Africa in a smaller scale. http://roadsafety.co.za/2009/10/28/photos-of-giant-sink-hole-in-durban/.
I cant help wondering though if people were swimming in the Lake, would they end up on a missing persons list. Scary thoufght if you were in a little fisshing boat sundely discovered you were becoming part of a whirlpool and going down. Thanks for the blog though, Good reading.
