A boy of nineteen is lost.
The desert is harsh and unrelenting. The wind stings the boy’s skin. Sand grates his feet. His face is tired of squinting due to the brightness of the sun. At night he shivers alone. His parched lips frustrates his sleep. Yelps, growls, and rustling of dead brush, keeps him anxious. He has no one to help him, but, wallows in his thoughts, “The world is against me! I deserve more than this” He is sure his mere existence confounds the ego of nature. Day after day, night after night, the boy moves over the sand, wandering and wondering. One day, what number the boy knows not, he woke with the sun especially hot. The wind had ceased to blow and the relentless sting against his skin subsided. What comfort the boy took from the lack of wind was quickly cast aside by the heat of the sun. In his vainglory the boy screams at the wind, “Why? Why have you abandoned me? Why have you left me alone?” The wind does not hear. The wind does not know. A boy of nineteen is lost. He wanders and wonders why the wind has left him alone. “You must accept that the universe does not notice your pain, your angst, your frustration or your screams. Operate within the frame of neutrality.” ~ Ivan Throne Lesson inspired by The Nine Laws written by Ivan Throne. Buy it, read it, live it. Comments are closed.
