I went running. There was this big cloud in the sky: A dirty white cloud covering the entire sky. I ran and ran and ran. What I love about running is that it stops me from thinking, it is one of the only few things that does. I don’t really know why, but it doesn’t matter, because all the thoughts that enter and dwell in my mind, switching and creating chaos, and just talking all the time about this about that, just stop. I see trees, road, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot and so on. Sweat starts dripping, like a stream down my body, sometimes it just lingers in my hair and my chest. Thoughts creep in, but disappear like thrown dust. Vanished before they can materialize. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, and so on.
I talked to Brian’s parents today, stopped by to say hello. They were in the patio, just sitting: She in the hammock and he in a chair. I don’t think they were saying anything when I saw them. Just two lovers enjoying each others company. As hard as that seems, that is all they were doing. Just sitting. It was as if they were alone, but complete.
