I'm floating
with a map of the world
underneath my feet.

My weightlessness has just begun.

As if I'm changing...
and the solid body I'm containing
is only now reaching some liquid state.

Transparent from the ocean waves
forming
rapidly below
This new world is painted in a thousand colors-
reflecting the clouds hidden way above.

I feel this presence
overcoming
and absorbing

Somewhat similiar to the sugar in my coffee
every morning...
the routine;
a simple reminder
of the chaos i sacrificed,
while sinking in the melting sun
of Then.

I've reached a new moment.
A new distance
Suddenly
Simply
LIVING
Inside this grander scale.
As I soar higher,
I briefly touch the future
and know the pattern that is emerging.

To be great is to be misunderstood. Emerson

This sounds like a wonderful experience. Especially to see the pattern of the future!
