"I must be a mermaid. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living." ~ Anais Nin

I drift into consciousness. And then back out. The world is a constant blur and random images seem to float aimlessly around in the dark pool of my thoughts, as though they are being blown about viciously by a hurricane. A soft tap on my shoulder, one that feels just like home, momentarily brings me back to the outside world, but after a second I am lost once again. I can feel somebody trying to look at me, a soft warm glance of care, but I just can't keep focus. The whole world feels low resolution, a bad quality movie. Perhaps I am no longer on the grounds of gravity. Confusion blossoms in my heart and I know that sooner or later I need to wake up. To stare reality in the face. To face the problems, that I know will not just disappear. But for now I lay down my heavy head, and retreat into wallowing blackness, hoping that I will eventually see light.
