Somebody once said that it was required of a man that he
should share the action and passion of his times, at peril of being judged not
to have lived, and for most of my early life I’ve followed this percept with
uncommon faithfulness.
But now of late (the last decade or so) I find myself
entangled in a web of days, time passing in a kind of a slow motion, yet
seemingly the years flit by and I remain in the same place, unable to flog up
interest in the world around me or the people who inhabit it..
I’m much like a meandering river still searching for a sea
to unload itself of all that water.
This sort of detachment and apathy sometimes scares me.. but
still I doggedly stick to the path
But to what purpose? What end?
But to what purpose? What end?
I see myself upon the grim mile
The past hunting and future escaping
What was shall not be
Forever shall I thicken this belief
