All together now

Mic test. Mic test.

I haven’t written anything in a while. Lately, I’ve been seeing things in movie frames. I’ve always thought that movies were the medium of the restless. They are for people who are not and cannot be contented by the slow grace of the imagination one might exercise from reading or writing. They are for people who are itching for a sense of adventure, but cannot be bothered to live their lives in search of it. Today, my restlessness was appeased. Today, the world slowed down and I was able to enjoy the things I have missed.

The coming month will be trying. There will be a lot of changes that will test me to the limit. Like a movie into climax, everything will be a series of frantic revelations affecting all of my senses. It’s no time to be restless.

Scratch that: I’m not restless. For the first time in years, I am not restless. I know exactly what I need to do. Slow down, world. Pao’s home.
