209 Seconds That Will Make You Question Your Entire Existence
it is a day off. i did 3.5 hours of paperwork.
now: there is still sun on my patch on earth.
i walk out...

i walk out...
Come and hire me, Rabindranath Tagore
"Come and hire me," I cried, while in the morning I was walking on the stone-paved road.
Sword in hand, the King came in his chariot.
He held my hand and said, "I will hire you with my power."
But his power counted for nought, and he went away in his chariot.
In the heat of the midday the houses stood with shut doors.
I wandered along the crooked lane.
An old man came out with his bag of gold.
He pondered and said, "I will hire you with my money."
He weighed his coins one by one, but I turned away.
It was evening. The garden hedge was all aflower.
The fair maid came out and said, "I will hire you with a smile."
Her smile paled and melted into tears, and she went back alone into the dark.
The sun glistened on the sand, and the sea waves broke waywardly.
A child sat playing with shells.
He raised his head and seemed to know me, and said, "I hire you with nothing."
From thenceforward that bargain struck in child's play made me a free man.

today i was told i am insecure...well, i make and made myself stay in an unsafe place out of me.
this is must interpret as a reason for instability. and i don't know yet what to do about it.
i am balanced enough in my self and in my known life. but the ground moving with the
pre-stillness of earthquakes gives me moments of unwanted memories,
flashbacks of dis-orientation from childhood.
there is no place to go from there so easily.
but i will find a music to follow.
