He sat down after getting his glasses. Wayne Scott was being interviewed by his son Ian today, and he needed to see the poem he was interpreting. "are you ready?" Ian said."sure" Wayne confirmed. "alright" Ian said, Preparing his mac recorder. "Ok, so what do you think of it?"
"I think it sounds familiar."
"Familiar?
"Yes, it sounds familiar, it sounds like new age philosophy"
"Well what does that mean?"Ian said, puzzled.
"That you shouldn't live for the future, you should live for now, that if you believe in god you should find god now, that god is around you, its almost pantheistic"
"okay" Ian said, "And what stands out to you?"
"well there is a lot of intensity, its very enthusiastic. its almost like he's preaching"
"well he was a mystic and this was probably originally a spoken poem, because he was illiterate"Ian Explained.
"well it reads like that, it reads like he's preaching to a large group of people."
"okay, so are you confused by anything?"
"no, like i said its similar to things I've read in the past, like Eckhart Tolle"
"And who is that?"
"hes a contemporary philosopher who believes in living in the moment, living in the now.
"okay, and who do you think The Guest is?"
"I think the guest is probably like i said, it could be a god of your understaning, a god of your religion or it could be you, your soul."
"is there anything else you want to elaborate on"
"no but again, the way it speaks to me is to know where you are, and where your at today and not constantly looking to the future, the future being your salvation after death"
"have you found The Guest?" Ian asked
"I think i have, yes"
"do you think I have?"
Wayne stated quite firmly, but not in an angry way "no"
"neither do I... okay so explain the guest in your life."
"whats in front of you is opportunity and how you live your life is opportunity for nirvana because you shouldn't look to the future for salvation because you don't have the future."
Ian thanked Wayne for his interview, pausing the recorder on his macbook. They both chuckled at the post interview awkwardness. "is that what you wanted?" Wayne asked.
"yeah that's fine"
"do you want to record it again?"
"oh no its good, raw"
they chuckled again and Ian resumed his biology homework.
