The Leaf in The Wind

I'm so lost! Oh, come on, signal! Oh, this life's so difficult! Guess where I am? Lost in the woods! Oh, oh no! Oh, battery! Oh, I really need my GPS! Siri, I need you! Oh, a sign! I mean, I'm at a dead end! Fantastic! Oh! Excuse me, miss! Excuse me, have you got a charger I can borrow? Oh, I got really lost! Ma'am, have you got a charger I can borrow? Oh, oh! Sorry, sir. Are you alright? Hello? Are you awake? Are you like a Jedi or something? Is this real? Oh! Oh my gosh! Sorry, sir. Didn't know you were sleeping. I just was wondering, do you have like a charger I could borrow? Or do you have a phone I could use? Or... I know, you're old school, right? What about a map? You got a map? No. Oh, well, the thing is, is I came down this road and then all I came to was this lake. It was a dead end. I don't know what I'm going to do, but... Well, you see, I'm really lost. I mean, I went out last night. To be honest, it was a bit of a heavy one. And my friend Sandra, she is a nightmare. Oh my goodness, she was just... What do you mean, she... Listen to the wind. What wind? What do you mean? The wind is everywhere. And it doesn't get lost. Are you like talking in riddles or something? Yes. Well, look, sir, I'm just really lost. I came down on this road and then all I found was this lake. It's like a dead end. This road is life. The lake is eternity. Oh, I get it. It's like one of them metaphor thingy-big-trumps, whatever. Anyway, so you're saying that life is like a road. And then I'm going to meet with the lake, which is like death, right? That means I've got to enjoy life as much as possible before I reach the lake of death. Is that right? No. Oh. To be honest, I'm just really lost and I just want to find my way out of here. Can you help me, please? Are you lost on the road or are you lost in life? Well, everyone's got troubles, haven't they? Oh. Ow. That sounds really painful. We grow through pain. Oh, wait. You're going to show me the way out, aren't you? It's this way. Where are you going? Come back. We've got to go over this way. We don't want to go that way. That's the lake of death, isn't it? Come on, we'd better go. Look at the stick. Look, I get really bad anxiety and I haven't got my pills on me, so can we just please get out of here, please? What's under the surface? I don't know. It's like stick and then there's more stick. It's just stick. You are that stick. Look, I know you're trying to help with all this, like, philosophical whatever, but I've got to be honest with you, I don't understand a single thing you're saying. What are you hiding from? I'm not hiding anything. I just like to enjoy life and, you know, that's it. I feel the pain behind your smile. You wear a smile like a jacket, but it's not you. You're like one of those mind readers. I feel like you're, like, looking into my soul or something's forexposed, but I'm just really lost. You're not lost. You're hiding. Tell me about her. What do you mean? You know who I mean. I didn't want to do it, did I? It was a long time ago and I wanted just to forget about it, but, you know, they persuaded me. They said it was going to be the best thing for me. I was too young and everything else, but I didn't want to do it. I didn't want to get rid of her. I didn't want to have that abortion. And I thought, I'll be all right, you know, just enjoy life and move on, but I can't. I can't move on. It's like she's in my mind every night. I see her in my dreams. Life is very hard. Can you help me? Please. I'm so lost. You can find the way now. Your dreams and desires are like leaves on a tree. Painful memories are etched in the veins of the leaf. But the fallen leaves enrich the soil and make the shore of the lake, beckoning you to sail on the Dharma and return back home. Where do I start? How do I start? Take your pain and regrets, put them in that leaf, and when you're ready, let go and begin your new life. Copyright © 2020 Mooji Media Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
