A Rabbit trail to the coffee shop

-Abecedarius

As I sit in a small quaint coffee shop in an unknown town I try to

brush aside the stress of life that has enclosed me.  The song

Colourway by Novo Amor plays in my head as I look through the

dingy finger-smudged widow that holds the cold snowy air from coming inside.

I hear a mother

engage with her daughter about what kind of gelato she is going to pick. It

makes me think of my mom. Makes me think of her red

frizzy hair that smells like coconuts.

Going from state to state these past few months I have grown

 homesick. I miss the

intense sunshine of Arizona.

Juggling the unknown of traveling has been an adventure in and of itself. I

start to long forthe day when I will

Know who I am and who I want to become. I start to

Long for someone to waste time with

Maybe someone who will bring some

Normalcy to my stress enclosed life.

Optimistic about where I am but still

Pursuing something greater.

Quite frankly aren’t we all just out here trying to pursue something greater?

something that will set our souls on fire. Doing everythinglife has to offer and

Regretting nothing. And consistently

Striving for greatness. As I wrap up

this rabbit trail of thoughts I look around just a few more times. I struggle to

find the

unique words to describe the aroma of the house-roasting expresso beans, and

the glow this

venue has under the fluorescent lights. The same golden glow of my childhood

home. I    

Wonder who lives in that house now. What memories are they making?

Xaern the fact that I could sit here and remanence and daydream forever, but I

am only this

Young for a little while. So, I pack up my books and my thoughts grab my

coffee, and find a scene of

Zeal for what the next unknown town will bring.
