A start

Some days the view is hard to see, other days it is clear as day. The thoughts of tomorrow grip around his heart but he feels it get lighter as he remembers who he is and what he is to become, he forgets and it feels too tight he can’t feel anything else but lose of life and hope. If only he could see there is more to him than meets the eye. I can tell him that but he doesn’t listen to me always, in fact there is so much distraction around him, when he listens to me he often can’t tell I am speaking.

Today has been interesting for him. He woke up to the sound of a crying baby, he rolled over to see the clock at 6:30 am, his face frowned and it is almost as if his energy dropped at the sight of the time. He wasn’t sure if he wanted to get up; he rolled over to see his wife on the other side of the bed dead asleep. I can’t have her wake up, she hasn’t been feeling well lately - he thought, so he got up and walked to the baby, gave him his little pacifier and put him down to sleep, shut the door and went back to sleep, convinced he was going to be exhausted this day. There I was standing in the room, waiting to see if he would say hello or if he had missed me but I did not cross his mind. I did try to get his attention, I even held my hands out but he was too tired so he went down. The baby cried a couple of times but he was too tired to get up. He eventually got up and walked to his phone that was in the other room. There was a message from his boss from work, he called her and in the discussion forgot I was trying to see if he would see me there, trying to warn him to stop and not get carried away by the traps set forth, but it was too late....here we are at his lunch time, he is trying to figure out why life is hard and I am trying to tell him I miss him and there is an adventure that is waiting for his heart to start beating and not feeling chocked...what would happen if he was to embrace that and hold on to tomorrow? oh what joy delight - may be, just may be this could be the beginning of an adventure that will surprise us both.
