Blank Out

Hi

Wrote in  the morning, that was  the present moment,

The ground is wet. it had been raining and windy last night. Fallen leaves littered the surrounding.  I don't care to clear them.

It is still quite early. The neighbourhood is quiet. All must still be sleeping. Perhaps too tired after overindulging in the leftover raya food or may be too much cartoon stories on the internet last night.

Those cartoon stories, not that important to remember.

I am now walking by the beach. Alone, not a soul other than me . . . and they say the world is crowded, overpopulated.

So the sea the sand the trees and the whole beach place is mine for a moment. Not sharing with anyone, not talking to anyone.

The quietness brings back to the mind events of the past weeks though I don't really want to think about it, better to blank out sometimes.

Things happened at a fast pace, so overwhelming and affecting everybody in one way or another. Positive for some, negative for others. Emotions run high. Euphoria has not died down yet, still loud drowning away reasons for sadness or anguish. Better to forget.

To me? All are irrelevant yet encompassing. The past, nostalgic. Better to blank out, to forget.

At this moment, that sad grey seascape does not bring on positivity to my mood.  But the melody is in sync with my steps, it keeps me to walk on  . . . life goes on . . .

Selamat Hari Raya to dear readers.
