purpose. walk from the station

 Walk from the station

 

His feet aches from the work of walking the previous day. It had been therapeutic expending energy with his daughter.

Now he was alone again. She was travelling south, and he would venture east.

Tiredness crept in as he sat on the bench. The sounds of traffic and voice and city noise still prominent in the background.

Purpose. What was his purpose. Sure, there was work, a family he would sacrifice for, wife, children, and colleagues who were relying on him.

But what was His purpose?

Clouds now brought a chill to the noon spring day in Hyde Park

People moving, walking, strolling, running

Dogs sniffing, wagging, smiling

Workmen, gardeners toiling

Many purposes

Alone with time on his side

All of the purposes that existed in him faded

Quiet non urgency opened up a void of observed emptiness

 

Hunger for lunch, he smiled, was a growing purpose!

 

He began to walk again
