"We need space," he said to her.
Look out of the window; see how bright the sand shines,
see how the beach extends to the end of the sight.
Let us give space to each other to watch and breathe.
We need to give each other space.We need to watch the vast sea;
we need to watch in the same direction,
but not in the same way,
let's give each other space
to watch in our own way,
our different ways."
There was a pause. She agreed.
Then one day she came to the window,
the same window.
The sand was white, the surf was white.
On the distant edge,
the sky was a dazzling white ocean.
He had found his direction.
Barefoot, carrying his shoes in his hands
he walked away, unburdened.
Each heavy footprint in the sand
was the mark he left behind
of the story of his struggle
to reach the right place.

Footprints are easy to follow but making them and
getting to the right place is difficult. But it is worth
the struggle. Make your own path. Be original.

- beautiful lines of meaning.
Sometimes spaces are needed,
The different angles of looking are needed too.
Thanks for your beautiful posts.REPLY Jul 12, 2017
