in the vast space of ocean,
i saw a jellyfish float,
at the whim of tides and nature

am i not its kindred spirit,
wandering aimlessly,
impassive and unfeeling,
conditioned to the
day-to-day grind of living,
never knowing, let alone reaching,
my destination?

perhaps i should go out there
and accomplish stuff
instead of whining childishly
within this musing

yet, the waters around me seem formidable
how can i not drown
before reaching the promised land?
i'm a terrible swimmer, besides

perhaps i'm too reluctant to
relinquish my hold on normalcy
supplying ample justification
for my chickening-out

so i continue to float along
like the jellyfish,
perhaps dying to unleash some stings
so that some cheer may be added

(chuckling)... I think perhaps a few stings...and relieving the boredom we sometimes feel are closely tied together..and not always for the best..

Nice to see you kaile...

(big hugggssssssss) And truly, I believe so many creatures are just like us, for God wants us all to be treated as brothers and sisters and just like us, jellyfish too have their own deep feelings! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, seize the day and follow your heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Heng, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

An interesting comparison. There have been times in my life where I have felt the same way, and in retrospect, I needed those quiet and reflective, going-with-the-flow times.
