Do You remember
That one day
You danced in the sun
When You were little

You felt alive
You spun and spun
You laughed
You were free

Do You remember
That time you smiled
Your heart felt Joy
You knew a sense of peace

You felt the wind
Upon Your face
You felt strong
You were Alive

Do You remember
The times 'before'
The days when You
Hadn't yet

You didn't need
You didn't hide
You didn't escape
You lived

The Other You
Inside Your Heart
Your Soulful Self
Still is there

Beyond the glass
Behind the lies
Beneath the Addicted veil
YOU ARE THERE

Take Your Hand
Let Yourself Stand
Claim Your Freedom
The Other You.... IS YOU

Hello

Thanks

I think it's essential (for anyone, really, as we age, but esp. for US)

to remember who were were

before it went dark.

To dig a tunnel back, if need be,
to the simplest pleasant memories.

As usual, a great post. Living sober has rewound the clock for me by about 20 years. Both physically and mentally feel like I did when I was young. And so far it is not getting old. I enjoy each day.

Same for me, Jeff.
