Rejecting Rejection!

 I was rejected,  

How strange,  as I contort my life in circles to prevent the very thing from happening and yet here I am, rejected.

Can’t say I don’t deserve it,  but was hoping for a quiet and languid rejection, rejection by apathy is much preferable to outright kiss off especially when time and space conspire to make it a convenience.

My preferred analogy would be:

two boats drifting apart pulled by various currents and breezes.  At first your close enough to  easily talk and communicate then as the distance gets further you start to yell but it gets difficult and plus it wears you out and finally you resort to stuffing messages into bottles and tying notes to birds feet in hopes that it will reach the intended. Eventually you stop thinking about it except as an offhand memory and a pleasant thought if even tinged with regrets and other could-a-beens and Might-aves.

Life is so strange,  I find my equilibrium constantly being bonked yet strangely enough i like it,  every time I think I have a lock on this or that,  something happens to show me that I am a speck,  a mere mote of detritus in the cosmic machine..

So to all this I raise my glass in a toast!

   May the sun ever be shining on your face whether you travel East or West.

   Your head lay on the softest turf and angels guard your dreams by night and your thoughts by day.

   Should our paths cross in time and space I wish that our embrace be warm enough to carry us the days of our life.

   A life of years  free from tears, this I wish for you!
