One should not sleep walk through the flat earth for too long, it is important to hike your way up a hill to gain some perspective in life. When I use a sell strategy like the above on people, it usually goes like “perspective huh?” So I improvise and propose drinks at some high rise roof top bars, it usually is an easy sell. I know the two are not exactly comparable except if you argue for the word ‘high’ literally.
I slowly sip my iced coffee sitting at the footsteps of the hill overlooking the city as the sun slowly goes down and the city lights begin to twinkle in distance.
I slowly sip my Mojito sitting on my high rise bar stool overlooking the city as the sun slowly goes down and the city lights begin to twinkle in distance.
Just painted the picture so that the idea doesn’t seem completely outlandish..
However option A is still gold, once you are physically removed from your everyday surrounding, it creates a space where you can stand and look back at your life or try to gaze ahead and see where you are headed. I believe that Nature has that power over us; it can give us that outward/inward clairvoyance, a moment of peace to reflect without distractions.
In one of these moments of honest reflection as I gazed beyond the city at the large stretch of the South China Sea, the warm memories of the Pacific coast came back to me. I tried to look for the lighthouse that always showed me the way, only to realize that the blurred lines were fading away softly. I changed the course of my life and was gone too far in the opposite direction. I quietly thanked the lighthouse at the distance hoping that the waves will carry my message.
Looking away from the waters, I scanned the sky for the setting sun only to find that it disappeared slyly behind the distant hill when I wasn’t looking. I have experienced this happen to me before; the tricky sun disappears just when you are not looking, perhaps just to show that life goes on, even when we take our eyes off for a while..
