Sunshine Skyways

Observing and hiding amongst the millions.
Being just another presence among the many passing by,
Like Simmels' "flaneur".
Seeing briefly, not knowing, at most projecting from Self to Other.
Watching, hearing Others speaking to Others.
Vicariously connecting to strangers.
A peace in anonymity, but why?

Being an outsider from within, a participant observer.
Being involved without involvement.
Letting go while remaining connected.
Letting the mind observe the Self,
A split in time that is timeless.
There is peace in that.
Perhaps, that is what peace is.
