Klister

Difficult period in my life. Fingers are sticky with klister. Klister is nasty sticky glue applied to skis instead of kick wax for getting a grip on melting snow.

It's for trying to hold onto something going away.

As T.S. Eliot writes in "The Wasteland" :

Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow

Now I'll have to pick up the pieces of my life I dropped because of skiing.

Will have to make amends with abandoned friends, do some housework, wash other things than ski clothes and figure out how to still stay in the best shape of my life.
