In the stillness of the afternoon sun

by USO

September 22, 2020

In the stillness of the afternoon sun, beside a narrow spring and amidst the green overbearing trees sat a very old man with eyes closed sitting very still. The stories of his past showed as wrinkles on his face and the miles he traversed were evident in his old worn out shoes. He was resting as if he had given up on the joys of living or maybe he didn’t care. enough. He had seen far too much in the past and the present was rapidly changing. This instant made me wonder if life is indeed moving too fast and outside this zone the world we are a part of has lost touch of being one with nature!!!!

About The Author

USO

USO wears many hats — and occasionally forgets where she puts them. Blogger, once upoan a time a radio broadcaster, few years ago a freelance content writer, and a believer that everything has a theory. She has had her words appear on the pages of The Statesman and The Telegraph in India, and her voice air over All India Radio FM every evening 8pm-9pm where she once hosted a music chat show with more rhythm than any running playlist. Based in London, USO is a senior executive in technology services. She’s wildly passionate about everything from the poetic flutter of drying clothes in the wind to nailing that PowerPoint pitch. Through all of life’s plot twists, two things remain her North Stars: Running and Writing. One fuels her body, the other, her soul. She's currently working on publishing her first book — a patchwork of stories about you, me, and the magical mess in between. Keep an eye on this space — or at least on your bookshelf.
