Strolling down the beach of life …

Today the weather was windy with some light rain; it was the perfect weather for one of my “mood walks”…

As I strolled down the beach I began to reflect on everything that has been going on lately. Here I am walking alone again on a windy and rainy day, as close to the water as I can get and as far from my self as I can be…

It was less than a week ago that I had to bid farewell to my last friend here, the same friend that I’ve been strolling down the beach with for the past six month or so.

My social life has been climbing up and down the graph since I left home… it has now become to a rest on the X-Axis…

I began to move away from the water as I felt my body temperature falling below average… I took a sit and stared at the surroundings… I found a tree, a light post and cement chair each in the proximity of the others but yet all are still alone fighting the freezing winter winds unaware of the fact that if they combined they will not need to fight any more. I smiled at the irony of life, we human beings are the same, we live, work and walk in proximity but we rather strive against the storm alone and hope to survive than unite and fight no more but risk being hurt… We need the proximity of others but yet we build fences and install more sophisticated locks. We buy more land to add extra perimeters to our own personal spaces and yet complain of the isolation.

As the sun went down and as I headed back to my place I began murmuring Brett Dennen’s “There ain’t no reason”.

May be one day I’ll find my reasons and may be one day I’ll find home again.
