Never looking back or too far in front of me
The Present is a gift, and I just wanna Be
The Present is a gift, and I just wanna Be
Maybe, if I were in a right frame of mind and was actually paying attention to what was happening and what she was trying to do, I would’ve understood. But I didn’t, cuz none of that was actually happening. More and more I was beginning to get wrapped up in something called self-doubt, and it was warping things, my perception, what I was watching her doing and how it related to me, that gave me the awful, twisted idea that she was mocking me.
It didn’t help that Chico was sitting there chuckling, this time at both of us, and refusing to clue me into the joke. Ridiculous, he said, smacking meat and skin and rabbit bone. Was he talking about me? Her? He wasn’t being clear and he knew he wasn’t being clear and he knew he was stoking the fires of my nervousness.
She reached out to me, offering…something, but I didn’t recognize it as an offer at all; I pulled my head back a little, keeping my distance, my brow furrowed unknowingly as I tried to comprehend what to do next. I was lost; totally wrongfooted. I didn’t know what to do or how to even juggle this situation or even what it was. All I knew was that someone wasn’t talking to me and it was deliberate and I wasn’t even sure if it was something I even needed to be upset over but I was and I didn't know why.
“I…” I stammered, trying to fix my confused, worried face into something more neutral, professional, “Uh…” If I only had her name, that would make this a lot less awkward. Maybe if I openly recognized her worth as a warrior, woudl that...clear up any of the murky water that surrounded us? Letting her know she was doing it? “You’ve...been kicking ass, y’know,” I said, unsure and hesitant, but trying to deliver this praise candidly, “I really appreciate the work you’ve been doing you….yooouuu….?” And it was a clear question, or maybe confession was the right word for it; an obvious prompt for a name I hadn’t learned before, even though she was one of the most valuable warriors I had.
