Hopes, dreams & despair

SUNDAY MORNING MUSINGS

07.03.2022

I was walking down the road yesterday, running some errands when it hit me. Countless before me have walked by the very same road (& in times when there were no roads) and countless after me will walk by these roads long after I’m gone.

In this vast schism of time where everyone is transient in nature, it may feel lonely. Exposing one’s mind, stripped of all defenses – our joys & sorrows are all temporal in nature. And this very truth is also what binds us all together. It is this commonality that propels us to find ourselves in others.

So, though we walk alone, we are never alone. Walking past each other through blurry times & invisible lines we are but at arm’s length.

And when our eyes meet on the road, in that one instant we are more alike than we could ever be strangers. With hopes, dreams & despair we walk through this life, challenging this great abyss of time.
