My Friend - The Random Sunday Nonsense Series 5

© Mind Curry 2004 - 2007

Today I accidentally bumped into a person I havent seen for a long time. It is easy to get caught in the daily musings of life, work, play, worries, love, hate, family, friends..the list is endless. In the grind, it is easy to forget a lot of things, and even people.

So today from my seat as I turned my eyes away from my laptop, I chanced upon a person staring at me. I was a little startled at the familiar face and the sudden disconnect. First thought "hey..its been so long". I got up from my seat and walked towards him. Eye to eye, we spoke to eachother after a long time, and pondered about a lot of things..

"where have you been?"

"what are you doing these days?"

"why are you here?"

"are you here to do what you do these days?"

"is there something else that you should be doing?"

"can this life be lived another way?"

"can you do things better?"

"will this life just pass on, day by day, and end someday, suddenly like a fallen flower?"

As we exchanged these thoughts, in less than a few minutes, I realized how long its been since I had met my best friend, my own image. Although I see myself in the mirror many times a day, I have not spoken to myself face to face, like I used to do very often, for some time now. Speaking with your conscience and talking to yourself happens all the time, but then looking at yourself straight in the eye, and saying hello to yourself, is a good thing to do.

Life can be a tangle, it can be a maze. But, no matter what, its good to stay in touch with our self.

Errr...

Good morning and good night!
