Everyone should be so lucky - to be completely sure of something. That thing or the person that compels them. That thing that grounds them. That thing that helps to dispel fear. Some people are sure they will build large companies. No matter how many client offices they are kicked out of, they keep working at the business. Others are sure of their spouses. Others get absolute comfort from their family. Few friends.
I'm sure of myself. I didn't want it to be this way. You couldn't have found a person who was less interested in being responsible. This wasn't a conscious attempt. It just happened. I remember Nadiya had trekked me off to Peru alone because she thought I needed to realize that I needed people. And I did. Being alone in Titikaka (stunning) taught me that lesson so fast. And yet, the respite beyond every respite, is in silence, in The Hindu, in Google, in bed, in imagining, in Sundays, in morning coffee. Of course you break out of this quietude and always run to the same people.
I just can't say it like him. Yet.
I Won't Be Found - Tallest Man on Earth :
Well if I ever see the morning
Just like a lizard in the spring
I’m gonna run out in the meadow
To catch the silence when it sings
I’m gonna force the Serengeti
To disappear into my eyes
Then when I hear your voices callin’
I’m gonna turn just inside out
Well if I ever get to slumber
Just like a mole deep in the ground
Hell, I won’t be found
Deep in the dust forgotten gathered
I grow a diamond in my chest
I make reflections as the moon shines on
Turn to a villain as I rest
Well if I ever get to slumber
Just like a mole deep in the ground
Hell, I won’t be found
I know there is a hollow
I need to fill it with a draft
Of all the words that I wont way
And with a quiet whisper
I send a curse upon the day
That never used the sun to see
The light
I’m gonna float up in the ceiling
I built a levee of the stars
And in my field of tired horses
I built a freeway through this farce
Well if I ever get that slumber
Ill be that mole deep in the ground
And I won’t be found
