I have taken a month and a half long sabbatical from almost a lot of things, including posting my daily blogs. You should try it. It is liberating. I have never felt more relieved than when I decided to take that plunge and just let go of my obligations.
It may sound strange to hear that someone whose arms have not been twisted to chronicle a daily blog, suddenly feels it is more of an obligation than anything. Indeed, you have earned the right to be perplexed with all these craziness. I am as much as you are in a state of confusion.
However, if there is one thing I am certain, I know I have missed my daily subway rides apart from all its lunacy. I have missed the smiles, the bumps, the jolts, and most of all, the thrills of the adventure.
Now, this may sound confusing. However, I have still taken my daily rides of the system, for there is no better way in most cases, to get to where I want to go than the subway. The only difference is I have divorced myself from being immersed into the system. It is more of a mechanical grind than anything. Does it make sense?
I do not know if it makes sense to you, but it does to me. When I ride the subway, I enter an underworld of fraternal minds, a world much less like above, except the people have a common thread, the need for speed.
