The Largesse of the Sea Maiden

I found this story inspirational and alarming. For some reason I was almost able to connect with the narrator when he was describing that he was walking alone in many places of New York City and around his clam neighborhood in San Diego. That would be me on someway. I'm the type of person that likes to walk alone and discover new places especially when I'm stressed out about everyday things. I really liked his description starting in the part where he introduced a character by the name of Tony Fido. I believed that his exotic paintings influenced him to write that way at the moment. I really liked how he was describing the feelings he felt about twists and untwists and so on but didn't get it at the same time. When he said that he believed he lived more things in the past than he will live in the future and that he's not looking forward to do anything else anymore made me think about how valuable life should be taken and that time flies quickly. I should learn to invest more time in enjoying life, become more influenced now before old age but even still I feel bad that the narrator is not happy with his accomplishments. Through in his eyes he doesn't see he did much, through others' he did.
