The harder I searched, the more elusive it became. The longer I worked, the further it appeared. I gave up. What’s the use of trying to get something that didn’t want to be found, I asked.

I looked around. I was lost. And alone. In my quest I had entered streets and alleys I didn’t know. A dim figure in a dark shop window gazed back at me. I hurried forward eagerly. A long period of solitude had created a craving for company. The presence of a stranger beckoned like an oasis.

I waved, and the stranger waved back. Just as I opened my mouth to speak, I realized the stranger was me, but a ‘me’ I did not know. A straight back and a direct gaze belied the way I felt – tired, hungry, frustrated.

I was mesmerized. Instinctively, my head and shoulders drew back. My lungs drew in several deep breaths. With each intake of air I felt stronger and revitalized. An unwillingness to let go of the hunt I’d pursued for so long swept over me.

Looking for affirmation, I stared at the figure in the mirror. It nodded at me and faded, its work done.

Very nice! Reminiscent of the Tao te Ching.

Thank you friend. hopefully we can always share here.

You have a very captivating writing style! I am new to steemit but I see already that it is giving me that little push I need to activate my left brain, or was it the right? I think the left brain is the creative side the right brain is the side that makes you share it, no matter how vulnerable it makes you feel. Or is the other way around? I don't know.
