Zen

She is an expert at pushing her limits. She doesn't really head the senate or figure out complex quadratic equations, nor does she take her SUV to get to the city to make money - for herself, for someone else or both. Instead, she basks in the glory of the passe, humdrum oddities. Putting up with an audacious teen for instance, or trying to use her imagination into understanding why a particular neighbor is always grumpy. She saves her jibes and sarcasm for very special occasions, often letting others take a lead. She apologizes a little too often, and recurrently offers thanks for the smallest of things. She can be viewed as a birdbrain, for her trusting nature can be borderline gullible from where you look at it. She talks politely, holds doors open for all and sundry and smiles at every passerby. She seems to have struck a cord with the world by simply letting it be and by letting herself being slotted into a non entity. Her nonchalance startles herself sometimes - "Is this coming of age?" she wonders. The constant counting, haggling and disagreements around her, over trivialities, charm her to no end. She soaks in without a protest and cogitates about things on a higher plane. Letting the world lead is viewed as fulfilling from where she sees it. She could be a dog for all practical purposes, more than a human being. A dog that doesn't hold on to past hurts or keep tabs on the the trespasses done onto her. She believes happiness comes form within and lets absolutely nothing or no one disrupt it for her. You probably spot her once in a while, riding a tram or buying groceries at the local farmer's market. I wish to meet her too...somewhere out there, or in here, if possible!
