Chair at Cadence Diner
Sit at the empty table. Look across to the empty red chair. Imagine the face of the person who might be/could be/should be sitting in that empty red chair at that empty table. Imagine.
So much of life is spent in the softly echoing chamber that lies between what-might-have-been and what-was, between what-I-wish and what-is, between what-could-be and what-will-be. But in that softly echoing chamber resides the imagination. Imagination doesn’t free us from what-is; it allow us to sustain what-is.
We are the choices we make, and the choices we make are sometimes those forced upon us. In a perfect world we may not have chosen to sit at an empty table across from an empty red chair, but in the world-that-is it may not be an entirely uncomfortable place. The red chair, after all, is never truly empty so long as you can fill it with imagination.
