A Touch From the Past


Reading my friend’s weekly Hebrew blog from good ol’ VanCity reminded me a reality long forgotten. Seven weeks in the Holy Land, and who’s counting. The weariness of 5 hours night sleep; body and soul crave some melancholy, cheap reaction I don’t intend to embrace. Hopefully. 

Last week’s haze was not seen by these eyes for quite a long time. An Israeli dust cloud. The grey cloudy days in Vancouver were wet with mildew and thick air smelling like virgin forests; green and brown. Here it is yellow, and danger always lurks behind a screen of loneliness no one can ditch. No one can ditch.

Job hunt is a rocky, curved road built on varied experiences that one could interpret either way. Most meetings remind you of your lackings, whatever excuse the interviewer chooses to point out. It’s a road you never know the end of. It goes: no, no, no… Yes! With a lot to look up for on the other side.

People find jobs all the time. A positive answer is felt in your bones before you even get it. You know success is coming. You know it prowls around like a lion in the wild savannas. It’s a strong feeling you should always keep on the plate. Melancholy is a desire out of choice, while results are a desire to choose out of.
Resolute choices and desire results. And Goodluck.
