Our viewpoint, no matter how solidly held a belief it is, does not always tell the whole story.
To identify what we are looking for, rather than what we are determined to find, we need to take a step back and see things in a different light.
Don your finery and deliver what you you want others to see.
Clothes can make you shine brightly, or make you invisible, and emotions can do the same.
In times of extreme stress a brave face may be needed, but you don’t have to conceal what is on the inside to everyone around you.
There was a sense of loss, a sense that belonging had been forgotten years back. The shell was there, but the heart had been ripped away and buried deep miles away.
And yet The Watcher kept guard. He knew not who or what he was guarding against, but he was there. The one sense of permanence left, while life crumbled around him.
The worst element was the silence, the complete lack of noise. When the wind blew, and if it was in the right direction, the rotting boards creaked ever so slightly, but even their muffled cries echoed with a sense of obligation rather than any commitment, any passion.
But beyond that there was a deafening silence, that unnerving calm that always came before the storm. But the storm had been anticipated for months, for years, and yet it had still to break. So the silence, the absence, remained.
Another quick reminder about the May’s Mass Observation Project!
