[Work] Stone Cold Certainty

The place where I am stationed at right now uses some kind of marble composite for its floors. It's not the shiny glamorous type, but the non-glossed subdued dark type. It's not just placed in the office area, heck even the washroom and stairways too. But the building does bear the Thai PM's surname so it had better live to standards.

The really weird thing is this odd triangular relationship with stone, my leather shoes, and self.

Stone is hard, cold and serene. The heels of my shoes are tough and compact-stiff. When the two surfaces meet, when the heel chisels onto the stone, I get this deep "clunk".

It's surreal how the sound, the feel, and the resonation provides a sense of certaintly and calm. The stone's always there, and the "clunks" from the steps I make confirms my existance....

Tap impatiently as you wait for an elevator: clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk

Depressively thump: KUH-LUNKKK, KUUUUHLUNKK, KUH-LUNKKK ....

Walk hurriedly with a spring: Crispy Clunkk-Clunkk-Clunkk ...

It's amazing how that by simply stepping on something - the kinetics transform into sounds and that opposite force (feeling of the stone)... and you get rhythm and maybe some soul.
