Skimming the Surface

From day to day, the unending normalities of unbroken routines enable me to skim the surface without the recognition of the fragility of my life. But there comes occasions where simple events, such as the daily ascension of sun, brings about the existence of involuntary reminiscence; from which I am reminded again and again, that all things are transient. As I live my life, I live out of fear of such occasions; of such uncertainty. In those moments, I am forced to give up the acquainted familiarity and stability of my thin existence upon the surface. Fallen into the abyss, I linger, until such shadows are lifted. At which time, I can happily return to the surface, free again to live this inevitable lesson unlearned.

Ignorance is bliss
