i am so very alive. i stand on the balcony here and look out over endless valleys and powerful mountains and i am so rich. i've always believed that i was a stranger to living, merely an observer, but how opposite of the truth! i have the capability within me to live deeper than most; i become what i feel, i understand what i see, and i love. i am free.

and so, i'm really enjoying my escape. i don't think i want to return. but of course i enjoy the bondage of everyday, don't i?
