I was sitting in class today, daydreaming of course. Hey, I had my part of the lab work done, what better to do than gaze silently at the window? So anyway....There's little me, wishing to be ubiquitous...and suddenly found myself, staring at the view.... and it was amazing, I had a fun little epiphany.
I saw all the layers in a 2D way at first...The reflection, the delicate glass, the parking lot...then a little field of grass with the occasional dirt spot and weed, then comes a chain-link fence topped with reminding barbed wire...just beyond that are deep rolling hills and finally the gray clouds dancing with the wind all across the vast sky.
All of a sudden it just expands and creates a story, a journey.
You walk up to that window and stare at the reflection of a face that was never yours, thinking is will take more strength to open that window than you possess, you use all your might, and it lifts free from the sill with unexpected ease.
Jumping out the window, you feel as if you are flying, rather than falling. Just as you begin to relax, you hit the asphalt bottom. So... you make your hopping barefooted way across that rough lot til you reach the cool, scratchy....yet soft...grass. What a relief.
Making your way across the drass you eventually hit this chain-link fence that had once seemed so tiny. Realizing there's no way around it you proceed to climb...one hand above the other...not too hard...
But then you reach the top... and there's no where to go... you're tangled in the wires with barbs picking at your body. But fortunately, you had learned previously, the secrets to maneuvering through such kinds of wire.
Finally, you make it safe to the opposite side and see these beautiful rolling green hills...You run up and down and up and down, up, faster, and down, faster, up....and you take off above the dancing clouds into the sky to brilliantly shine among the stars.....
And I thought....hey....this could be life.
