Life is like |
out on a hill , on a grass field, behind a old home is a man standing, in july , on a cloudy mid day. wind blowing through, over and beneath his arms as he holds them out in air he's calling out. standing there, in a empty field of a july midday, without speaking he's calling out.. Inside his eyes, looking out, he see's himself and incomplete unfullfilled perpective of himself its the last day of the worst day for him this is the day he can finally live he started out , a long long time ago years far back, maybe 10 he use to struggle with finding a truce between his pleasure and his needs the two almost never could coincide the pleasure always overides the the important things for him work was a thing, that could never begin to relax he needed mental preperation relaxing by abusing time on pleasures mental sensations a high from no drug time killer mr commonplacer himself, 10 years later now in the present. stands in a large field behind his small home, outside his small house on a grass hill. with a light breeze of wind, over cool july mid evening. flash backs, black to a back, past visions .. there he is. 12 years old. in a room alone, fiddling with paint brushes and white sheets. in a completely mucked room with sheets and rolls of obiquously painted white sheets of paper. there he is he's him... lifes a strange story. you start off weak, from birth dependant on anyone but yourself but then grow into adulthood where your true fend from evils, is yourself... He's a man now, 23 working at a factory house outside of newly built industrial set up in oshawa . the year 1907 its hard work. people here die. the work is very hard and the pay is very little. every long day is 18 hours breaks are for when you sleep, so to work again tomorrow every day is long long long days, every single one of them , long as the other days just seem to stretch and blend into each other. he can hardly take this mental abuse anymore. its not what he's built for. "I'm too smart to work in a factory. please get me from this place. I need to leave here, now! " every curve ball in life thrown your way, may be a change up so keep your eyes peeled and don't look away... its december 1922 he's 38 on his way to drop off a parcel he picked up for his mother from the post office to give to her at her home. . she says, " arn't you tired of this john? you live a bit lately? hm?" "yes mom.." "you work so hard son.. you should live a bit, ya' know. ." lifes a dilberate misconception you think your living because you breath, but thats the fools trick life plays on you. you only think your living, but your not really. unless, ofcourse, your really living life the way your really supposed to be living it... its time to take my first plane ride. "its amazing all the things change since I was a boy." "i never imagined to see something fly by itself, without a heart in'it. much less be inside a flying one m'self" life's like a airplane. it can take you wherever you need to be, as long as your willing to get over your fear of being in flight. fear being whatever holds you back in life from actually living... .. he's 58.. no kids of his own. widowed mother as his true love, and meaning to life. he sees everything in her. and wants to not let go.. dying is the only way to lose something. everything else is nothing.. visits to her on a regular weekly basis allow him to see glimpses of his moms love that he was too young to fully understand growing up, so he yearns for her affection like a 4 year old. . he visits her bedside on a sunny august mid evening his mom now in her 70's. asks him "dear. have you bought anything new lately?. ya' know, the benges are runnning outa business, did you hear that?" "yes mama, i know. i dunno what i'm gonna do for work now mama".... after she passed away. he recongnized what she always meant by, when she would ask " you live a bit lately?hm?" ... lifes a deliberate friend. it reaches out to you when you believe to be lost and hopeless. in a strange way, her passing was a blessing. she also too realized something about her son before she died. she realized he was not ready to live because he cared too much about not loving life. instead of realizing life is what you make it, he let life dictate to him what it would be.. grey haired, breathing. the present is like no other. he's 67. and now he opens his eyes. standing outside his old home outside in july , on a cloudy mid day. he opens his arms wide and extends them outwards, palms open and his fingers dangle in the wind. touching and feeling the breeze run along his fingertips. through his hair, on his face, his body & everywhere. his eyes are closed, but their open. their open, because for the first time of his life, he's alive. for the first time in his life. He's Living... lifes's a beautiful thing. touch it, feel it .embrace it. cherrish it. love every moment ,each and every second of it. live life like if everyday was your last.. life is an ocean. from the shore you can only see whats infront of you. but if you dive into it , immerse yourself completely in it everyday, and let go then your discoveries are truly endless. a man who waits his whole life to live said to me. "life is like.." .... .. you finish the rest. |
