Much as there are 'could be's and 'should be's, there are no 'must be's or 'meant to be's. You have to make it be. Find something you enjoy doing and do it well.

There are, on faraway beaches, gorgeous people grilling delicious food while enjoying music and conversation. Wish I were. Yet I wouldn't want to miss this. Here, too, are a million wonders to behold.

These times when it all falls into place, these times are times to hold on to. The train, from the front most of all, yields stunning views. We push on through man-made valleys, between houses and hillsides. The transport employee is wearing a surgical mask. She has the prettiest eyes and we smile at each other as I exit.

Experience the breath out of this one moment. Drink the juice from it. A purpose pushes back the deathly boredom and love between people creates the impression there's some point.

Now, the noises of these city outskirts, the distant traffic breeze like waves on the beach, the birdsong and cicada rustle, they just add colour to the scene.
