Over the Hills and Far Away
This world can be divided into two kinds of people; Ones who live in this world and the ones who live. Both have lives. And have a choice of wanting to victimize their time to routines.
Don’t you think that life now is driven by what’s not today. Normal life is driven by what’s not there. City life is driven by what’s never going to be. People on the other side don’t understand these statements, and will never be able to.
It’s them I want to talk about here; the ones who live. Simply live. No matter what or where. That’s where I want to be. Nonetheless, I presume that I am almost there by admitting that I am not there yet.
My life is filled with everything that I could ever want to be exposed to. This and that and that and this as well. Only, it’s so much that I can’t do enough in one lifetime to fill all of that into one plate. Irony sets in when I begin to complain of monotony in life. I have so much happening in my life, I find that setting things right takes too much of my time. Sorting out problems. Planning of a hundred things that I can do tomorrow.
Exhaustion! Imagine getting tired of living life. That’s the only thing I came here, on this planet, to do!
It only brings a smile to my face when I think of what I would want to do to cut the monotony off. I want to do what Chris and Robert do in the book I’m reading right now. Now that according to me is living life. Just take your motorcycle and pick out a route on the map that leads from nowhere to nowhere and follow just that. Actually in this case follow or not will mean the same thing.
The long winding roads. Sunset and sunrises like never before. Warm air carrying the dry smell of mud and old trees. Lonely sounds of the motor as I make no change in the pace I ride at, finding no need think. Discovering undiscovered roads leading nowhere and riding off. Chasing horizons until I tire and submit to a reality that I chose to momentarily forget. Stopping at monotonous long stretches of empty, uninhabited lands and staring, this time with a purpose, a paradox…
I take a deep breath, feeling almost like I am consuming every particle of nature around me and begin to look... I search in these unending insipid spaces, something to spice my life up moving at the speed of a million decisions a minute.

i know what u are looking for!
You are consumed with the void of being alone in the crowd. And it happens to everyone, at least once in a lifetime!
Open your eyes, and look out for the one.
He is there. Somewhere. Only you can find him. And Only he can find you!
Happy Living!
