OBSERVATIONS... The feeling
Not uncomfortable
Not relaxing
Not quite bored
Not very taxing
Unfamiliar
Un rushed
Un battered and bruised
Thoughts are aligning
Mind is unwinding
Yet my shoulder still meets my chin
Though not as often as it has been
Followed but not chased
Decisive, calm, content for now
Alone yet not lonely,
Unhurried though moving swiftly
I know where I am and where I am going
What is this peculiar state?
An earie release
Will it cease?
What is it?
could it be
is it?
How strange...
Your fascinating
Your fascinating introspection tunneled deep into a meditative, detached, nonjudgmental state I know well, and actually find refreshing, when it decides to shows up.
You described the anomalous state, the dichotomy, the disconcerting yet comfortable limbo where we stop fighting and struggling and we discover that polarity is not a choice between good or bad, joy or sorrow, light or darkness, but an observation that everything . . . just is, that opposites are, perhaps, just two sides of the same coin.
In this place you describe with pristine and graspable wisdom we can reboot, breathe and find cherished clarity. But you didn't just describe it, you brought us there. That's no small accomplishment!
Enjoyed the mind-stretching journey. Well done!
