I was away from home for a long time … And now that i am back home. New York Feels a world away …I met some very interesting people had some great times ..
Every once in a while i would have a few drinks with a friend of mine.. Some one i lived with for a while too
I am a good listener i dunno how true is but many people say so .. And knowing myself a lil over the past 26 yrs i do know people can stretch my patience to extreme limits and get away with it
So anyways .. Every time we would have a few drinks this guy would go on and on about his times while he was in south africa. The Prestige he carried, The Power he commanded and the Life he once lived. Its was ok a couple of times listing to the same stories, Everyone has the right to cherish old memories
As months passed by … So did years.. I Kept listening to the same tales time and time again. Every time he narrated the story i saw a light myst in his eyes and a depth in his emotions that expressed his craving for the life he left behind once….
I never had the courage to tell him. Always felt my blunt words would be a little to harsh….So i kept giving him a patient ear for the longest of times… If you can help one feel a little light and better why not ? Goodwill although may go unnoticed but never goes unrewarded in life ..
As i look backed at my conversations with him one night before i was going to bed .. I came to a conclusion he was living his present … In his past ..
You may have been the prince of Babylon once upon a time.. But this is your life now .. Deal with it…. It doesn’t get better it doesn’t get worse unless you choose to make it so
Look back at life for answers from experiences
Look back at life to cherish the good times
Don’t Look back and Live in a time gone by ….
Peace
