I was staring off into the distance...The conversation swirled around me... I considered the hymn of the voices around me.... It was an ever-changing melody... rising and falling randomly and I could make neither head nor tail of the chatter... Sometimes the noise would die down and I would expect the song to end, but then it would rise up again, louder and harsher than ever...

I was sitting alone occupying a table...My friend called out to me, waving from the door... I snapped to attention, smiling, pretending to be interested in what was going on... I didn’t stay long, however, and soon I started pretending to read the novel I carried... I was floating off again... It wasn’t long before my thoughts were drifting over forests and valleys of ideas.... They reached up to me through the cloudiness of reality and every once in a while, I caught hold of one and carried it along for a while... I mostly enjoy the flight more than anything...

I was dreaming, wandering, wondering.... The world inside my mind is my escape... The world inside my head is, for all intents and purposes, the real world to me... I am always safe there...I feel safe there... I am always accepted there... And most importantly, I am always wanted there... Reality, for me,is a place of mystery and confusion... Whenever reality upsets me, I would escape to this world to seek guidance... and would travel the long, dark, dangerous roads of my mind searching for wisdom...and this world...my real world.. never ever lets me down...:)


And then I was called back to reality again as the waiter asked me what I wanted to eat. I again snapped to attention, smiling, pretending to be interested in what was going on...
