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!

Quite beguiling poem: Quite beguiling poem encapsulating a unique emotional state that is both calming and unsettling. The juxtaposition of being unhurried yet moving swiftly, and feeling alone yet not lonely, creates a sense of balance and introspection. The curiosity and marvel at this peculiar experience are conveyed with clarity, making it's reader ponder the nature of such feelings.
