Predictable... but still always a surprise, he missed her face, missed her glorious green eyes Something held them together, him and Act III like some cosmic strand of a spiderweb silken, thin, but strong. she reappeared with a message... Always, always, her timing, women's timing impeccable They reappear when the man has trully forgotten them moved on and so, now twice she sent him a message the same day he had a date with the "next" girl the tryouts began began, well, is past tense, that is to say they have started but wait wait, twist of fate moments in serendipity he was emailing the new girl in the midst received a blank message typical he said, he thought it had been a month and still in her message she said nothing... so her nothing turned an apology which turned into a phone call nahoda? no, he, and God, as Einstein says... "God does not roll dice with the universe" He suspected, she's hear scratch that, make that, she's here in the walls in the spirit in the mind and bye for now says she and the next message from the tryout? wait wait "I will be late" perhaps tomorrow for one or the other it may be too late... "Time waits for no man" it waits for no woman life must and does go on Hesitation? Or Emancipation... Wait Wait? Go ahead, my dear, if you do, if you will it may be too late If you wait... for Who knows what will happen in a twist of fate |

I like the scatter here, the maybe she'll be the one, no that was the one, no she can't have been, but maybe...  It's like life, we never know.Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Fascinating juxtaposition of contrasting concepts (e.g. predictability/unpredictability, fate/choice, chemistry/strategy, planned timing/random events, communication/lack thereof, the march of time/waiting, decision/indecision, remembering/forgetting) and metaphors (e.g. Act III and silken spiderweb thread). I had to look up “nahoda” though I had guessed correctly on both scores – thanks for the new word – languages delight me, so to learn what for me is a new word in a new language and an interesting pronunciation (the accent being on the first syllable, which is not what I would have expected) is exciting. I particularly enjoyed your philosophical/psychological analysis in this. Owl [This message has been edited by OwlSA (06-18-2011 12:49 AM).] |

Thanks Pilgrammage and thanks Owl. It is all just Observations and the statement and proclamation of events that happen. It is a deep realization of life, that there are events and people that are fate, destiny, but what happens between those two people is still our choice, 2 people's own free will in deciding if they will be together or not and the cosmic web of the universe and things, events that happen that bind them, us, everything together Glad y'all enjoyed the read. Thanks for the comments, ~BRad |
