silent witnessing

it is well known that tiredness clears judgement, so i won't dig into it too much

i must have seen it in a film or something, i certainly do not know where it is in the globe
there was this aquarium where glass tunnels had been built within the huge pools containing the animals, allowing visitors to be effectively inside and see the animals in a different and more interactive manner than the window version

it's a bit the same, except the fishes in my case are my friends
witnessing their lives from far apart, inevitably so and an outcome from a personal choice
nevertheless hearing from one or the other, who tell you stories from another....from whom you never hear directly

i am saddened, while trying to find the point in time and space where the connection was lost
when that person put our friendship outside the closest nest where i felt i had once been

i guess the only thing to do is to try and find the balance between respecting spaces and choices, and not wanting the silence witnessing to go on for so long that it is all lost

one more time, balancing is the ultimate test, challenge and solution
