Ramblings
Snuck away from the party to write this, loud music in the background... it draws me, making my soul dance - my body dance, forgetting the stone-clad foot, forgetting the physical limitations... My blood is flowing with the ruby red of wine that sparkled on my tongue, in the candlelight, on the glass surface of the table... With the warm wind of the night carrying its intoxicating scent into my body.
There is laughter and ease and enjoyment all around me, and they fill me like the most potent of drugs. My mind is floating in the comfortable realm of almost complete intoxication (and yet I manage to write with unusual coherence, at a level that is utterly absent from my speech)...
There is so much right now that seems so clear through the haze... I've let go, and just flown... Flown... Into the rhapsody of existence.
I will lie in bed soon, I think, to rest my aching bound foot and rest my mind from the exhilaration of the evening... Listening to quiet music in the background and thinking of the one thing, the one release I did not have tonight, but for which I am now ready with the absolute and final simplicity of wisdom and innocence... Body and mind. I am ready... Take the chance? Yes, take it, now, because it's the right... is right.
