I met this thoughtful fella in Rishikesh in Northern India.

As he sat quietly – delicately balancing – watching the world move around him – his posture and expressions were simply too 'familiar' not to anthropomorphize.

I often feel like I imagine this monkey felt.

Like – I'm quite alone on this precarious edge, watching life speed unflinchingly by. All I can do is hang on tight and keep watching, knowing the world won't pause simply because I'm feeling too spent to keep up with its dizzy spinning.

The best I can hope for is a good view whilst I wait for things to slow down.
