I imagine myself, one of them, some of them. I break down the shield that keeps me in the shallow water. That open vast expanse of you and I that flows on forever sliding in and out of boundaries, of consciousness. Life beats down upon me, as a hail storm might beat upon the concrete its cracks imbedded with the spark of life. That brown and green of Soil and its brainchild. I am so alone and so together; so very different than what life has become: reliving and reliving my experiences.
