December in New York

If theres something that lacks an expiration date its learning. I dont just refer to academic lessons but the ones from day to day. The great things we learn for free in the only school that holds classes outdoors where we are all students and teachers at the same time. When the student is ready the teacher appears says an old adage. Jeremy the protagonist of this story was that student. As millions of people he also was infected by the virus called routine as if he was a machine he was programmed to follow a set pattern of events. His life was governed by time and specific plan for each day. Getting out of that plan or taking a different route than usual was for him like waiting for a fish to survive outside of his environment.Not daring to go beyond the limits that he himself had imposed he refused to be part of the wonderful things that surrounded him. Until one day that two mysterious characters crossed his path. Through their stories experiences and examples that are as real as the air we breathe they taught him to see life from another perspective different from that which he was accustomed to. It was then that he realized that nothing we do has meaning unless it serves to nourish the spirit.
