anyone who knows me knows how much I love studying... so its no surprise that I have resumed making posts... while trying to do the afore mentioned studying the idea hit me to write a short story type thingy, so I did... here it is...
-Hey!
=Hey! Do you want to join me on a walk?
-Sure... Where are we going, and why?
=Wherever our feet lead us, and for no particular reason, though it is a very nice day and there are trails at our disposal.
-Fair enough...
So how was...
=SHHHH!!!!
-What?
=Listen.
-To what?
=The birds in the trees, the sound of your footsteps, the water tumbling over stones in the creek. Isn't it just amazing?
-Not particularly
= But it is!! Its life and its happening all around, you don't have to be a participant in it, it will go on without you, but you can be a part of it... of everything. It will always happen, maybe not in exactly the same way all the time, actually, its always slightly different. Everyday something changes, but there is regularity in the daily inconsistencies... the change is consistant, and that is a reassuring thought indeed.
He looked over at her face, which was flushed from the combination of the fast pace which they had adopted and a passionate speech. It finally dawned on him that her childlike naivety and awe of life in general was what drew his interest. He was so bored of the beautiful blase nobodys who acted as if the world should be grateful for their existence, and took no joy in anything.
They continued to walk and he asked earnestly
-You do this everyday, and don't get bored?
=I couldn't imagine not doing it. And as for getting bored it could never happen, could you imagine, being bored of life? hehehe what a ridiculous notion
