I used to love life in the countryside. I loved solitude. And yet..I now prefer to stay in the city. The sound of the traffic, the noise and the glow of lights are a constant reminder to me of life in continuous motion. They keep my mind engaged, distracted. They leave no space to think.
The silence of the countryside, the solitude, scares me. It allows me to hear my own thoughts far too much.
So yes, I still do love the countryside..and yet...

I listen to the music of my mind...eternally mirroring thise moments unkind...
ReplyDeleteyour post reminds me a few line I wrote a few decades ago
The blending of two conflicting waves of senses has generated an eddy of thoughts...offering no shore a surety....so elegantly expressed...very best
