I can see the gears churning when I look up in the sky
I taste the metal on my tongue
I see how the world works
I hear the music and feel it through every part of my body
I am not playing music
I am in a field
I lay out in the field and watch the flowers lean toward the sun as it begins to beat down on me
I see the blades of grass flutter
I focus on the sounds that I hear
Whether it's the wind slipping in between the blades of grass
Or the bees pollinating the flowers
I kick off my shoes and push my feet into the dirt
I feel grounded
There is no other feeling than this
I begin to feel anxious and spot a tree about 15 feet away
I think about running to the tree
As I begin my journey I notice insects gravitating toward me
I am not frightened
I smile and push myself off of the ground to enjoy this tree experience
Everything is breathing with me
Everything is alive
I begin to climb the tree focusing on not damaging the bark or the branches
I feel like being in the tree will help me to understand the trees
It will help me to coexist with the animals living in the trees
I inhale life
I exhale and see all the negative energies flow out of me
I inhale again
It's hard to breathe
I've allowed myself to let go
To just be
Tears of joy roll down my face
The taste of metal is long gone
The sun is beginning to set
How long have I been here?  
I came here with no intention of watching the time
What is time?
I begin to contemplate time and it's meaning
Do I truly exist?
I am existing
I am coexisting
