The Collision of Two Conflicting Fears and then Boom! - A Photon is Emitted

-
(Moods before the Interview and the Call: Times of anxieties and job hunt scenarios.) The fear of a job that is meaningless to me -  The fear of dollar signs  My room filled with bunch of stuff I don't need. The fear that they may murder my inner romantic -  my soul with eyes of a lover - The fear of feeling stuck  Suffocated, Choked, Dead.  The FEAR of the clock  Tick-tok tick-tok tick-tok - sssshhhh Please let me sleep in peace!  The FEAR of the boxes Cannot keep looking at those boxed buildings Little people in boxes  Doing what they are told  By mysterious powerful forces that all of us hate  But we do what we are told.  The boxes, the order, the system -  Please break them all, make LIFE flow -  Time is not a container Please break the barriers, cross the lines, feel the flow.  And then what? - THE OTHER FEAR NOW Survival.  Dad is retired.  I must be able to earn for myself.

As Above...So Below

Once upon a time, there was a man. The man lived alone in a small room with a small table in it. The table had car keys placed on it. One morning, the man thought of going somewhere, some particular place decided in his mind. He took his keys, brought the car to life and started his journey. After a while, he forgot where he wanted to go followed by making efforts of remembering. While lost in his efforts to remember where he wanted to go, he kept driving, taking roads without knowing where they led, crossed beautiful places which went unnoticed to him, nonexistent to him. All of a sudden, he feels he is familiar with a place he was driving through. He remembered that was the exact same place he started his journey from. This realization made him stop the car at this familiar place. Paused there for a while, he was shocked to find that it was the same place he had started his journey from. When he took his car keys out, he remembered where he wanted to go. Since he was tired be...
