Carry On

“A glint off of three gargantuan copper brew kettles turns his attention upward, to his spot. Friedrich wishes for times gone by. Simpler times, like his first day Father let him follow him around. That day, when he was ten, was the first time he set eyes on those deep reds and oranges reflecting off the metal kettles. It put a smile on his face. Today’s setting sun streams in the arched windows, begging him to forget. To forget that Father even came into the brewery today. To forget Father’s words. Even the swaying ships’ masts in the Odessa merchant quay wave away the evening in jubilation. But there is no jubilation in this day. This Feierabend of a week’s end is mute.” Excerpt from my book. 

Everyday we trudge on. Seconds, minutes, hours, days. Lately I have wondering…why? Like Ecclesiastes 1:14 which states “I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after the wind.”

I guess if we do not continue on the path set before us, we will surely die. Starting with our desire dwindling to accomplish nothing. Our minds clouding with negativity. Breaking our spirit. Killing our health. Thus disabling us. Finding ourselves unable to trudge on.

Creativity fuels our jubilation. 

Carry on.
