Adrift

Adrift

October 5, 2017 Off By Lisa

I can no longer feel my body.

I still have one, but I stopped being aware of its familiar boundaries some time ago; perhaps I no longer have need of its restrictive comfort. My mind no longer obliged to the limitations of the light, I release myself to the freedom of the darkness, surprised at the expansiveness of my own mind.

I vow to return here and explore in greater depth, to venture down each outstretched corridor, to move through every locked door, to leave no shadowed corner alone.

For now, though, there is much for a new-found spirit to do and I must be about my work at once.

With one fluid motion, I rise.

She is mother to one glorious handful of a daughter, wife to the nicest guy on the planet, and reluctant but devoted owner of three Rotten Cats. You can find her adventures and thoughts on living life deliberately here on the blog.
