Search

By Victoria Hewitt

Much is hidden from a searching gaze and a searching heart.  They say to look past the surface and enchantment will gladden and warm your soul. A foggy gray glass seals the water of this world.   It shimmers and glistens of blues in the light of day.  Perspective. That’s all it is. Perspective.  The twin to attitude one supposes.  But what if your person has a shadowed perspective/attitude?  Born with, beholden to?  What of it then?  Me’s thinks it’s a bad day.  Then it is.  Tomorrow will be better.  Should be better.  If it isn’t, then do what you must to lighten the load.  Physical exertion, nap, get out and smell nature.  Some people just need to be alone.  Thirst for peace.  Quiet time.  Others thrive in the chaos of the world.  So, search.  Keep searching daily for whatever that is that quenches your thirst for the life you want to experience.  For there is less time than you think.  At night, lights of blues and yellows and whites flicker and shake in the waves wind until the light goes out.
