Wind and Sky

Sky: What's wrong?
Wind: I'm having some trouble.
Sky: Maybe I can help.
Wind: Well... okay. How is it that you get to where you're your going if you don't know where you are?
Sky: Oh, that's easy, just ask for directions.
Wind: Good idea!

(looks around for a passerby, then looks up and sees sky)

Wind: Excuse me sky?
Sky: Yes?
Wind: Could you tell me where I am?
Sky: Well... I don't really know were exactly you are.
Wind: What do you mean you don't know? You're every where.
Sky: Ya, but you're standing right there and you don't know where you are.
Wind: This is true.

(long pause)

Wind: Excuse me sky?
Sky: Yes?
Wind: Could you point me in the direction of where I'm going?
Sky: Sure! Just stay under me and you should be fine.
Wind: (sarcastically) Thanks.
Sky: You're welcome.

    I kind of understand it... then I kind of don't... I read it again. Ohhhh I kind of understand it... Wait no I don't... I KNOW THERE IS HIDDEN MEANING! I CAN SEE IT BUT I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS! AHHHH!

    I do like it though...

    I find it confusing, because you don't clarify things so well. Also I know that there is symbolism but I don't know what it is. Please help me understand. So add a little more dialogue and maybe I can solve the puzzle.

    I don't think you guys realize but I don't have a theme really, I'm just asking a question, which is "how do you get where your going if you don't know where you've been?"

    OHHHH! I was looking too deep ^^; Sorry about that. I guess the illusion of the sky and the wind talking made me think it absolutely had to be something mighty and meaningful in a complicated way... However, that is of course not always the case. Like I said before, I really like this. It's a beautiful way to portray your question. Your audience (me) on the other hand is a bit slow '>.>

    You really have a thing for things in the sky. I didn't get it until I read the explanation and then i felt stupid. It was really good i love the way the meaning is so simple but the diologe and the piece itself make speople think deeper and look deeper when there really is nothing there. Good Job!
