why are you here?

it's not that i don't enjoy your company, but why have you come?

i suppose you'd have me sit here, tapping away at my keyboard to give you something interesting to read. something earthshaking. mindboggling. something so surreal, and meaningful that it makes your heart ache. you'd like to have come to this page to discover another angle to Life--to peer around the corner, and think you had found something within yourself, through the words on this page. what is it that you want? because you clearly want something. be it laughter, or love, or hope, or peace, or an answer, or

something else..


why are you here?

it's not that i would have you leave, but what do you really want?

i'm not going to give you any of those things--not laughter, nor love, nor hope, nor peace, nor an answer. and you won't find them hidden under a stone or behind a comma, so don't bother looking. not today. but i will give you something. [i couldn't have you leaving with an empty goody bag, now could i?] today i'll give you a question. now, that doesn't make sense, i hear your protests. what would i do with a question, without an answer? you'll live. imagine it--everything is begun by a question. every result is an answer to a question. so to have an unanswered question, is to have a quest. that is to say, a motivator, something to keep you going. without a question, you're left with

apathy.

so let me give you a question, then.


why are you here?

--
going over the same old ground
what have we found
the same old fears

wish you were here...



remind me of yesterday.
