I don’t
think we should try to make space our own. I believe that as modern people we
should live in mobility. We should always be moving.
-Yohji
Yamamoto
I find myself often wondering
what the view is like from somewhere else, as someone else, in some other time
or some other mood. That’s the heart of me – the fabric of my body, my soul, my
mind. And that’s why I wonder about you.
I wonder where the rage comes
from. The hostility for everything and everyone. I wonder where it will lead
you – I wonder where you think the
loathing will guide you. And I wonder where the goodness goes - where the kindness
dissapates from you…leaving your body for the air and space and everywhere in
between.
You seem immobile to me and I
think that’s what I find the most confusing. There’s no desire in you to change
– but an intense determination to change everyone else. I wonder if you’re
standing up against something. I wonder if you know what you’re fighting for,
because I don’t, and I’ve frightened for you - I don’t know that anyone ever
will.
I wonder what the view is like
from where you choose to stand. Where you choose to isolate yourself. Where you
choose to freeze yourself with your burning detestation.
I hope the view is nice from
there, but I don’t see how it could be. I don’t see how you can drape yourself
with the fabric you’ve chosen.
Just remember that you can
change. I know you can, if you find that you want to. And if you choose to
travel beyond the small borders you’ve made, you might find that the view is
nice here too.
And there are so many more vistas
to discover - if you’ll only open your eyes to them. Someday, maybe, learn to
enjoy the silence rather than the sound of your calculated words and sentences;
inorganic and harsh.
The more you move – the easier it
will be.
Trust me for once.

Have a wonderful weekend~
