it is a passion bubbling up from the depth of my being--
i just cannot describe it...
all my life i had hated eating fish.
but now, wonder of wonders,
i like nothing but fish--breakfast, lunch and supper!
and comes this pleasant shock after much pondering over:
a cat i have become, a cat!

I was reminded of the story of the same name by Kafka.
Do you keep dogs in the house, sir?
yes, kafka it is. i can give no other title to this piece.
Last night I too became a cat...!

Or Poe may be!
Sometimes we change imperceptibly, don't we? We don't know the change that has happened until we suddenly realise we no longer react in the same way we used to react in a similar situation in the past.
you can't step into the same river twice can you? If we remain exactly the same as we were a while ago, where's the flow!
Exactly. And we don't know the flow is going on all the while, change to change, jerky and smooth, an ever evolving flux in which the jerky make scars perhaps, but the smooth go unnoticed, flowing smoothly, and when you become aware of that flow, you are pleasantly surprised.
you have God on your offside if the realization is always a 'pleasent surprise', Sir!
