As I sit on the on the unoccupied bench right in the middle of the crowded city I sit and observe for just a minute. People are funny things I must say. A man walks past, not even watchin where he is going as he says to his friend "this is the first flavoured milk I've drank in three months" like it was some kind of sin? A girl soon follows also exclaiming to a peer about her efforts cleaning the bathroom.
Now before I continue I must add that earlier on my journeys through the city (that seems to be improving somewhat) I had been instructed that I was heading up a footpath that was closed. A gentleman gestured towards a sign that was erected at least twenty metres ahead of me. I turned back somewhat confused at why the sign was placed so far ahead and continued on my way.
Glancing downwards to check the time I notice a small pair of gumboots stepping ever so slowly infront of me. A girl of about seven is completly absorbed by the little pink umbrella she is holding. Why she is so fixated has no relevanceThis is pretty much the highlight of my day. Not a worry in the world other than what is happening right then at that precise moment in time, a beautiful moment if there ever was one. Reflecting back to my footpath incident I ponder, If I had been looking futher ahead would I have walked down that path? Is the past a blindfold over the present? Are the unknowns of the future going to inhibit our desires for happiness? ............... Hmmmmmmm................. Best just to listen to the music and forget about it me tinks...
