In a land beyond the olive groves, there is a world where people are always running around frantically. There is always an appointment to catch, a phone call to make, a meeting to attend, or an assignment to complete.
Here I am trying to finish reviewing three chapters we covered in class this week so that I can catch up and have enough time for my other 1001 assignments that will be due this week. My life has always been like this, but today, it all feels much worse.
Beyond the olive groves, the world is spinning. Time is ticking. In the middle of this overwhelming thing called Life, we have family we spend days not interacting enough with because we are locked in the library, trying to convince ourselves one day this will all be worth it. But will it be worth it if by the time that day comes, there are many other days that we've missed?
Suddenly the saying "I wish the world would just stop" has much more meaning.
The world will probably continue to spin and go until I am back home, looking up at the clear sky above me, the shadow of the olive tree I lie next to is right beside me.
