As of late, I find myself eager to bring my projects to a close. As well as to tidy them up. Deep in my gut, I have a premonition that I am starting a new life.

Addendum I (January 17, 2016)

The last few months, I have done a great deal to bring a few selections from my Residua to a close, as well as to tidy up all the other ones. The book about the city of my birth was completed earlier this month. Right now, only two selections are still pending. The book about my struggle with Croatian courts awaits the decision of the court in Strasbourg. It will be brought to a close in six months at most, or so I hope. And the book about yoga is nearing completion at a clip. At this stage, I would give it no more than a couple of months. This accomplished, my projects will be behind me. Although I would keep adding sundry afterthoughts to all the selections from my magnum opus, I will be starting a new life for true. At long last, I will retire from this world. A firm dome of ignorance will encompass me for good.

Addendum II (October 31, 2018)

Writen only a few months before my liberation, this haiku is right on the money. Which is why it delights me each and every time I come across it on my uncharted journeys through my writings. I was a bit too optimistic about bringing my projects to a close, though. Given their bulk, it has taken me a couple of years to tidy my writings up. I do not expect any new selections from them at this juncture, but all of them require continuous upkeep, for addenda keep popping up here and there at a clip. Perhaps more important, I am still waiting for the verdict from the vaunted court in Strasbourg. Alas, I was way too optimistic about its swiftness when the first addendum was penned! One way or another, rounding things off has taken much more time than I expected three years ago. Although I have started a new life already, and in earnest, my old life is still taking a good chunk of my time. There are muddles galore. The way things are going, I may be free from all blunders of my, as it were, youth in a few more years. Fingers crossed, as ever.
