Missing

Miss. To miss. Missing.

I am missing.

We automatically think of the active sense of this sentence--I am missing. I miss something. I miss someone. I had something--experienced something--and not it is gone. Thus, I miss it.

I am missing.

I miss.

Do you miss something that was present and now gone? Or, are you missing from yourself? Have others sought for you with no success?

I am missing.

Could it be both simultaneously?

I miss you. You miss me. Is this union? No. Fulfillment? Of course not. Desire for something beyond--something out of reach--something unattainable? Yes. Maybe that is the beauty of missing. Maybe that is its tragedy also.

Maybe. Probably. Hopefully.
