Too Many Holes
Continuing with a barrage of announcements, our world is filled with too many gaps, too many holes. Things leak when there are holes in them. The nagging drip, drip, drip or a raging waterfall in containers. If these gaps and these holes connect, we could find ourselves lost in a bottomless abyss. This is indisputable and should raise concerns on so many levels. Alternative facts will not suffice, nor will tinfoil hats shield us from their powerful influence. Say what…
Why has this not been covered on mainstream news services? They seem to think they have more important things to do these days. The proliferating holes in our environment will soon catch up to us. They are multiplying like rabbits or rats. I bet you don’t understand this… I expected that. Maybe you think I have a hole in my head! There it starts just like that.
Holes can disguise themselves. Sneaky things… they can choose other situations to blend in more and attract less attention. Here are some examples - sneaky little things and sometimes quite large ones.
breach, burrow, cave, cavity, depression, gash, gorge, hollow, peephole, shaft, vent, notch
Definition: A hole is a hollow place in a solid body, thing, or surface. What is not said here is that a hole is nothingness…it is an empty void. Since a spirit, ghost, or apparition is not solid…it cannot have a hole?
So, what exactly makes up a hole?
Holes are defined as openings or voids in solid structures. However, that definition may not be illuminating. Holes can form through various processes, both natural and artificial. In nature, holes might arise from geological actions, erosion, or the activities of living organisms, such as burrowing animals. Artificial means can include drilling, mining, or even the wear and tear of materials. My first question is: Does the toilet swirling after flushing create a hole? Just asking.
Despite the prevalence of holes in our environment, there seems to be no definitive information on our ability to control their formation. This raises intriguing questions: How many holes can manifest in an area? What determines their size and depth? Each factor likely varies depending on the context of the hole, but precise answers remain elusive. The phenomenon of holes invites further exploration and understanding as it intertwines with the natural world and human influence. Wow…we are doomed!
Scientific definition of a hole.
Hole, cavity, and excavation refer to a hollow place in anything. Hole is the common word for this emptiness…a hole in one’s head. A cavity is the formal or scientific term for a void within a body or substance, through which things can pass in or out. So, this would be a rabbit hole. This cannot be a hole in a cup, as it does not come back; it only ends up on you and is not coming back.
So many holes…too many
Humans have so many names for holes.
Foxholes… a place to hide
Black holes…sucking us in…not good
Assholes…insert your own words here
Hole In The Wall…a dump
Hole in the head…which one
Potholes…nasty, everyday things in our paths
Today, our world is littered with voids—persistent issues and unresolved matters that we create daily. It seems they never truly disappear. They continue to simmer and boil over, too hot to the touch. When we plunge too deeply and too quickly into these metaphorical rabbit holes, we may find ourselves lost, unable to see the light of day. Instead of clarity, we are engulfed in darkness and surrounded by shadows. In darkness and shadows, fear breeds and waits impatiently… a Viper’s venom. The once-clear trail we thought we could follow, much like a trail of popcorn, became invisible, leaving us wandering in a realm of confusion and uncertainty.
The Seven Holes
One has seven holes
Which way do we each face
Each hour of each day
Our mixture of holes
Ones that see, ones that speak
Those who hear, others breathe,
Watching us in the mirror
Each morning, each day
To determine who we are
Seven portals to absorb
The light and darkness of each day
Then, to release our spirits
To soar or fall
To those around us
Each day
A man entered a bar, sat down, and looked around. He appeared perplexed and increasingly agitated. Finally, the bartender approached him, keeping some distance. “Are you okay? What can I get you?” Still glancing around nervously, the newcomer replied in hushed tones, “What do you recommend will fill my gaping void? Don’t you see it…the void…the hole?”
Now, you complete the story.
