DJNO CYA

Djno,
Australians have a lovely way of expressing thought through and by a ‘localised vernacular contraction’.  We leap at diphthongs and revel in bastardising English like, G’day.  Wahoo!
I thought I would pen another being ‘Cya’ or ‘see you’ to the uninitiated.  This concatenation [3251 – position in alphabet] in mathematical terms is the 458th prime number.  Why is that important?  Because it’s ‘pure’ and unadulterated and unable to be divided by any other ‘thought’.  In mere mortal terms it expresses one’s singular desire to actually be able to lay ‘eyes’ on someone in the future.  There can be little else better in terms of friendship or satisfaction or heart warming, even if it’s spoken in a throwaway line! 
 
Which brings me to the point.
At life’s end-ish there is nothing more important than people and life and how we have lived with those people.  Knowing their thoughts is critical, life affirming and just plain bloody nice.  I missed mum’s death by 3 minutes and dad’s by 16,000km and I regret same every day assuming they would be around forever.  Stupid male.

[DJNO translates to ‘did you know’]
