Winning
























Why is this heaven so perfect?  Wind-whipped and sun-bleached with that salty tang in the air.  It's more of a strong breeze than a wild wind, the sand's barely moving.  I have a chair, and a foot-stool even, and this is my lunch break.  But still, my mind is restless.  I'm not on the winning side of life yet.  Yet.  And yet, if this is losing, I believe winning should be an immaculate dream.  It should be a life so much more than this present one.  Something with meaning and purpose and fulfillment, a thing awashed in self-satisfaction.  I should have the capacity to look back endearingly, but also down from that atmospheric pedestal.  It's something that's been built upon, not abandoned.  I won't try to find comfort in that euphemistic breakdown because, well, I haven't really defined it at all now have I?  What wonder...
