guilty feet have got no rhythm

i am unable to withstand hunger. I should find that equilibrium though.

I want to be like Rumo, who thinks that just the right amount of hunger will keep him alert and lean and strong. Rumo is a fighter with integrity and he is self-reliant, independent and proud.

He finds his silver thread in the form of a girl Wolperting named Rala, and then he suddenly becomes unsteady and aware of the society around him. He reels. He doesnt even know what hit him, but that he has been searching and following this silver thread. He knows it's powerful.

Kind of like me, when i didnt know what hit me. Except that he doesnt get his strenght from the silver thread, whereas everything about me-- my love of poems, letters, romance, philosophy, metaphors and happiness-- comes from him.

Does it? i dont remember liking it before i met him. But i did use to love reading.

Anyway, back to Rumo. For Rumo, the silver thread (who happens to be Rala) is extremely important, even though it is not immediate and essential in his life. He has so many of struggles to go through in society. Rights and duties, fitting in, fighting his battles, learning social skills. But it is apparent that he would drop all that and leave Wolperting if Rala wanted it. Because Rala is his silver thread, the one who makes him reel and become unsteady, his raison d'etre, the reason he is in Wolperting and society. When he signed the document with the mayor, he signed it because the mayor told him his silver thread was in Wolperting.

He knew he loved her before he met her. And now that he has found her.

I wonder how the rest of the story will unfold.

It's that simple isn't it? Love. We all know we have a silver thread no matter who we are and what we are doing. If we find the silver thread, we have found the reason.
