Seeds of unbifurcation, & assoc. ramblings..
OK, that needs some explanation..
I was thinking of the past recently, young men - it happens as you get older!??:
I was thinking of my unbifurcated past and remembering various events in my life that seem to have been pointers to where I have ended up!
This may sound silly, but as a lad in the UK it was common to run around on the beach with a towel wrapped around my waist, thus were the seeds of kiltwearing born! farfetched you say? read on..
Around the age of 20 I was attracted to eastern religions. I 'sat at the feet' of various Indian 'gurus', and their unbifurcated robes did not go unnoticed!
I began wearing an Indian "lungi" on occassions and remember enjoying the freedom of it.
One time in an 'ashram' I listened to a visiting catholic monk as he came to speak. All I remember was the lovely robes he wore, the freedom of unbifurcation was calling!
In later years, on a couple of journeys to India I made the most of the opportunity to dress as locals do, in a lungi.
Today, after rediscovering my celtic roots, the kilt is the natural outcome of years and years of seeing that unbifurcation is not only the destiny of man, but his natural state, the place he needs to be.
It's like coming home.
