One day, I’ll tell the truth.
When they ask what I’m up to this weekend, I’ll say:
I’m going to lock myself in my room, sit on my bed, close my eyes and disappear through a doorway of silence into another world. I’m going to explore unexplored landscapes and travel untravelled paths. I’m going to have adventures you couldn’t begin to imagine and time will cease to exist. I’ll sit by a winter stream, wrapped in the arms of my beloved. I’ll become a star in the night sky, an elderly woman in Argentina, a bird plummeting into the sea. And when the weekend is over and it’s time to return, I’ll feel more rested than after a thousand nights’ sleep, all my worries and wounds will have melted into a golden river and I’ll be carrying a bagful of treasure and jewels that I’ll spend all week hiding in stories and poems.
I doubt very much they’ll ask about my weekend plans again after that, which is good, because I do so dislike that question.
Sounds like a great weekend. ❤️😊
Hee hee, thank you Bonnie! Hugs as always for you. xx
One day the King decided that he would compel every citizen, that entered the city, to tell the truth. Any lie would be punished by hanging.
Next morning at the front of the queue was Mulla Nasrudin. The guard asked Mulla
“Where are you going?”
Mulla “I’m going to be hanged”
I haven’t heard this story in a while Mike. Thanks for sharing…and for reading 🙂
That would be a marvelous reply Leah, although in truth I doubt I would ever ask what your plans are,or what you’ve been up to.
I hate that pointless question too, what does it matter what I did,who will benefit from receiving this information? Certainly not me for supplying it.
Even I don’t give a damn what I do.
What I think, what I feel, asking me those sort of questions can be valid and appreciated at anytime. But if you don’t want to ask me anything, and I don’t feel particularly moved to ask you anything,then that’s absolutely fine too.
We can just be quiet, that’s more than enough.
Keep well
Just to sit with others in silence, this is one of my favourite things 🙂 Thank you for reading Geoff.
Wow. This hit a note and was compelled to leave a comment that this was beautiful
Thank you so much Neil. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a little note.
It could be my dream weekend! Will be longing for it!
Thank you for sharing, Leah! Loved this piece of writing!
Thank you Indira! There are so many kindred spirits out there whose idea of a good weekend is time spent wandering the inner worlds. Sending lots of love.
Sounds like a lovely weekend and one I myself would very much enjoy!
I knew it couldn’t be just me! Thank you Kris.
