Falling.

This may have been posted before.
If it has, it's a great re-run.

Falling.

Gooch sent me this link a while back...
I'm glad I had it on this rainy day.

I love that! This narrative was on the same site....I liked it too.


Innocent. Was I ever innocent? If it was just a dream then that dream shall be my reality. I once knew how the world worked. It was all inside my head, but then I found words and the understanding was gone from me.
Words are meaningless without motive. And so I looked for the motive I had had for finding the words to talk to others. I looked under the pebbles in streams, and behind the buildings at night so the dogs wouldn't see me.

I looked in the clouds, but when I thought I recognised it they changed and my hands were full of mist. I looked in the air and I dug a few holes. Not many. I asked birds why I wanted to be able to speak.

They didn't reply. I think they knew the answer.


Eventually I stopped looking, and then I understood.

found it just a bit too coincidental that the condition of spiritual anonymity is the status quo until someone decided to get caught in a loop of self obsession and curiosity.

is it just me or hmmmmmm?

dan, Thanks ahead of time. We are busy in the operating room and will enjoy it later I'm sure. Now that I have feelings, turning them off is difficult. Not bringing the job home is difficult. Some images stay in my mind. I find the post you've posted very helpful in coming down. FaryQueen, everybody does but, you've really added some great insight to the problems we face in recovery. Also, adding a glimmer of hope that life indeed can be enjoyed.
