Walking Through the Crowd
Ever searching
She lost herself in the crowd, disappearing from his radar. She kept moving, never staying in one place for very long. She always took different routes to where ever she was going.
He walked through the crowds like a lion searching for lunch. With his unwavering gait and commanding posture, he stood out in the crowd. Everyone turned to look at him. It was impossible to not notice him.
Neither of them liked to be alone. Without the crowd they had no identity. Alone in a field they felt vulnerable and without purpose. Alone together in a field their relationship was doomed just as it was amidst the crowd.
While they searched for new crowds, each for their own reason, they failed to realize that no crowd could show them their true identity. And they could not do that for each other either.
Far apart from each other, they continued walking through the crowds searching for that which can only be found within themselves.
We can hide in a crowd or stand out in a crowd. We can take the solitary path inward. We can also walk through all perceptions of separation and find ourselves in all things. We can walk through all perceptions of identity and on the other side find our true selves.
