So Much Too See
I have a restless soul, a soul that needs to move and stretch, a soul that needs to be fed.
There is always something more to see and experience further a field. Here is not enough.
Sometimes I have to leave the wide open spaces and seek the larger, more crowded arena.
People I don't know and have never seen before and will never see again intrigue me.
I like the color of noise and crowds and tall buildings stretching toward the sky. The
activities of lives pushed together in a shared space makes me feel energetic, invigorated
and large. I don't mind. sharing the sidewalk with people who bump my shoulder or ridding in
a bus rather than a car and even the grinding subway train is musical.
My day to day space is small, brown and tiny. I like coming back to it, but I also like leaving it.
Perhaps, I want too much of the world and should be content with what I have at hand. I can plant my feet for only so long and they begin to itch with wander lust, and soon my thoughts turn
toward some place diffeent. There is more beyond here and now. Someday I may be content to
rest and watch things move past me and not be a participant. I hope not, but until then I will not think about it and allow my curiosity to propel me forward.
