The tantalizing gap


"I can span the distance in a jump" I think. I back up, run in and propel myself into a jump. I traverse just enough to get a grip on the slippery ledge. And he stands there watching me slip into the abyss totally aware that all the effort was just to reach him.

This is what happens every time I try to communicate with him.

I feel like climbing his cliff from the bottom, surprise him at the top and push him into the same abyss just to make him feel my wretched feeling. But, I'm sure, by the time I reach the top, he would have moved to a different cliff. A much distant one. A much higher one.

About me

People have been wonderful in misunderstanding me. That's alright. Go ahead!
