scenes from a dream: just a country girl and a city boy

Note: I stole this title from a friend of mine (his blog here: http://sfad.wordpress.com/)
This blog post is a bit of creative fiction and a bit of truth, which part is which? That's a secret.
The mystery adds to the charm.


Do you believe in fate?
That there is an invisible hand guiding us along around path?
I don't.
I believe in God. Similar concept, but more powerful.
Recently I've been thinking of how stories always describes two complete strangers being brought together under unassuming circumstances.
Enough babbling, here's the dream:
Country girl meets city boy. Both, under normal circumstances, would probably never have met. However, coming from completely two different worlds, they share the same dream. It's amazing how similar their aspirations are.
Was it the sparkle in her eye when talking about her dreams, or that cute but silly smile when she gets embarrassed? No matter how you look at it, he's fallen for her.
City boy falls in love with country girl.
He knows he shouldn't. He knows things won't work out - in no time at all, they'd be separated, perhaps never seeing each other again. Maybe a kayak will solve their problems. The logical side tells him to break it off before it's too late. His heart tells him it's already too late. "Doesn't matter, I just enjoy spending time with her. I don't need her commitment or a relationship" he keeps telling himself. Maybe it's true. If he repeats it often enough, he'll start believing it. In a month's time, it'll be back to reality.
Is it time to wake up from the dream?
No, he needs to dream a little more.
Maybe it's time to be a rocketeer.













Clarity isn't needed sometimes.
