Today was a strange sort of day. It began with a slightly tough moment with a friend. But it all works out in the long run, I suppose. Have been reaching out to some people for a few things. A couple contacted me for renting out a room. From the time I spoke to them on the phone until the time they came home (uninvited, unannounced), everything about them was creepy. I can't explain, but their eyes and their skin seemed to belong to the undead. I live in a busy city where people are mangled in various stages of fatigue. But this couple seemed fazed and blurred. Against my better judgement I offered them coffee after inviting them in. They walked in mechanically and sat stuff...waiting and looking.
I had told them that I am not looking for people to let out a room too. They just sat and looked out the window. The man started breathing weirdly, as if trying to inhale the place. I remembered one of my yoga teachers in Pune (from Canada) saying that bears breathe in deeply. They breathe in the world around them. I was getting a little nervous...and not because I had to start a work call in the next 25 minutes.
The lady asked me for water. I went to the kitchen and when I returned they were gone.
It's as if they weren't in here at all. I live in a small flat and I didn't even hear the door close. It's as if they evaporated into the same air that the man was so keen to breathe into his system.
Well, one more day in Paradise.
