back to basics

as i was walking home from the train station today, i saw and remembered the spot which my bike was stolen two years ago. i then now think about the new bike that is now lying in the garage, very much unused. one of the places i went to rather frequently more than 2 years ago, was the beach at east coast park. i was there with my bike, being alone with the sea, experiencing the freedom, the vastness. now that i am leaving for germany , in less than a month, i am thinking of going back to the spot , where i could be near to the sea again. this time round, i wonder what are the thoughts , colors or new tales that will come to my heart as i stand at the same spot again? will i still think about the deep blue gaze, when rested upon my soul, creates such a special feeling that i wonder if it could ever be replaced again, and will i think about the neverending dream that leads me from one place to another? will it motivate me to read a book containing stories of the Sea in the bible , all in the german language, which i bought two months ago?

then as i walked further , away from the stolen bike spot, i caught sight of a bird. at that moment , it poked its beak into the flowing water of the drain, and out came a tiny fish in its mouth and then the bird swallowed it immediately! maybe it was a random thought, but the moment just made me think about how simple life could be, without the frills , the chaos or order, and even the colors. the bird was enjoying the mere act of "being". the feeling was also similar to watching children play . it was a nice black and white photograph.
oh yes, i still desire colors, salt and seasonings , crystals and other things, but how nice it would be to experience, no matter how rare the chances are, the simplicity of it all, which is to go back to basics, to go back to the sea.
