People I Met: Promenade

My enemy holds a mirror reflecting my strength points

My ally holds a mirror reflecting my weakness points

And a good companion polishes well those mirrors to avoid distraction

 
It all started long time ago, as I remember Shad was bolder than Geo.
Walking around on the border of the river in that wildness near their town.
Shad silent as always, but very attentive, I can't really tell what's in his mind.
Geo walking right after him, is a bit loud but seems that the silence of Shad is really dominating.
During there walk Geo wanted  to jump high and scream loud, he tried many times to pass Shad so he can take lead and enjoy his space, but this always failed he even once broke his nose cause Shad made him fall.
The walk continues, walk down in the town, with time Geo has learned well how to pass Shad, he made his big move and here he is dancing jumping, with no boundaries.
The tempo of the dance goes faster passing in between the shops then Geo gets a sudden hit on his head.
Shad gets near him, takes him by his hand to help him up, and here he gets a sudden punch on his nose. A look of anger on Geo's face, red eyes staring toward Shad, first person was Shad to be blamed the reason was not clear not even in the mind of Geo, but Shad has to be blamed.
Stayed there on the ground while Shad walks away, cold blood as always.
In vain Geo tried to carry on with his dance, a sudden fear broke into his heart, a low experienced person like him will be shocked after this accident, a merchant came close to him and said to him: "son you can't do it, here you are some water and relax."
He tries to stand again and jump high as before, but he simply couldn't, he developed a fear from his entourage, so his heart told him to go follow Shad again.
again the walk continues, Geo is in the back again reviewing and feeling that fight between safety and independence. Now away from people, in that road in the mountains the most relaxing and dreamy ambiance. Shad goes slower and slower, anger again gets over Geo who almost stepped over Shad's feet. this time he does not express his anger, Shad even kept going slower without talking till he stopped. That same look in his eyes, never ever changing, he sat down, Geo never questions the acts of Shad even that it always provokes him, time taught him not to question also taught him how to read behind the poker face of Shad. Breeze and beauty, sitting there comfort sneaks again to the heart of Geo especially that he managed to have a short conversation with Shad, very soon enthusiasm shines in the eyes of Geo and he starts to make some moves and few steps of a new dance. Dance dance smile and go high, the dance get more harmonious and intense, imaginary music plays in the head of Geo only Shad can hear it. Till a sudden move and Geo disappears, he slips and falls around few meters down... Still high from the dance the smile never leaves his face and his silent dance turns into a loud laugh with no clue how to get out of the hole he got him self into it. A sound of rattling made him jump high enough to catch the hand of Shad and get out of there.
Pick up there stuff and continues down the hill to the neighbor town, rare are the words and long is the conversation. New people there, they already met some of them but all connections has been cut so a short salutation is enough while each proceeds with his business.
"My friend the merchant who offered you the water, has always dreamed to be a dancer but he mistaken the words of life and thought it told him no one can ever be a dancer, and the rattling you heard was not a snake."

Walk of a living man

It's a walk in a foggy path, It's a path you never walked before nor you'll pass through it again, walking with complete confidence merged with persistent fear.

People I Met: Responsibility

There is that little Island that has sufficient resources where you can live in peace with the little it affords to you. It seems that all the people of that Island are dreamers, big dreamers.
Walking around, between the people having a coffee with them all you have to is close your eyes and imagine that depending on what they say this little Island will become the most exiting place on earth soon, very soon it will be a land of heroes and land of creativity. This was Home-town
Geo was born in Home-town and got used to it, it offered him safety and stability, it was great, except for one thing it's people are dreamers, Geo felt in love with their dreams they became his idols.
Till one day he woke up and found their dreams eating him alive, Geo looked around nothing changed he is growing older, nothing changed. He felt in deep pain, became like them, developed his dreams but nothing changed.
Geo opened his eyes and have seen it, this Island offers a little, enough to stay alive, but it is a dream burier... Definitely not his place, and that is what everyone have said about them self, this is not our place.
He used to walk with his friend on the border of the river, a wide river, it is known that there is an other land on the other side, They do not know much about it but they think it will be fun to go there one day. They talked about what would they do if they went there,and they always insisted they will go there.
One weird day, that day Geo said it, he said he is preparing the tools to cross the river, preparing his self to go there to the land that we only see it's shadow through the river that it's current changes directions. Geo knew that people around him will get surprised, but did not know that he will be more surprised than them, what surprised him are two things.
The first was their reaction, all these people talking about dreams about what would they do at the other side, they got shocked, now you can see fear in their eyes. First thing that the best friend said: "hey don't tell any one I encouraged you, are you sure you want to do that? why would you do that?"
And this was the reaction of many who thought they are the reason he did this, how funny is that? People are not ready to take responsibility even for "the possibility that they may be part of the reason of encouraging".
The second that surprised him is that one day Geo woke up and found him self on the other side on that other Island, even he did not know how he ended there, it was a beautiful secret a secret that he enjoyed and that he will master with time.
When he got there, people still wanted to go to that part too, in fact they wanted it even more. But...
