Sitting in the Dark
Random thoughts flow through my mind as frequent as neurotransmitters cross their synaptic clefts. Yikes. Tomorrow I have a busy day ahead of me… I don’t know what to think of it! I get my computer… I will compete. I will probably not place because I am not where I should be… and yet I remain unbelievably calm. Yes… I remain calm. Well consciously I remain calm. Subconsciously something must be bothering me… I should be able to sleep. But I am awake. I had no coffee and the glass of tea I had was at least six hours ago… probably more. I just feel like writing. and writing. and writing. I like to break the rules. I like to pretend that I am a rebel for starting sentences with AND… or using little comma splices everywhere.
Today I met someone new. Actually I have met them many times before. But today I met them as an ultimate equal… and this my friends is uncommon. This is as uncommon as a long term crack addict being able to quit cold turkey in one day. Rare. Unlikely. But possible. This person is in my life but not involved in my life. Everytime I see them I am simply amused and amazed at the same time. We think alike and yet very different. Our perspectives are close… and yet they differ in many ways. Our hobbies are similar much to my understanding. And it is difficult not to want to know more about their intriguing thought process. They are deep… and sometimes dark. They are passionate and creative. They are ever learning. This individual will not be in my life much longer but I have been pleased to have gotten to know a tiny bit of them. I can only hope to encounter more people like this in my life. The best part… Tomorrow I will see this person and nothing will have changed, they cannot see what I do. They do not see their own intellect, their own brave sense of humor but more importantly their impeccable quality as a human being. I often do not see as many of these traits when I look in the mirror. I am inspired.
Well now that I am starting to get a little sleepy I shall climb into my dream boat and sail away to dream land… ; I hope that the adventures are many, the beauty is indescrible and the joy is like nothing I have ever experianced. Good night friends… I only wish the same for you!
