Recovery - A Form of Rebirth
- Lori
Walking in the park. A feeling of being in the moment.
There is no past, no future, only this exact moment in time, like a point drawn in the the middle of a blank paper. Everything looks new - unfamiliar, but not in a "lost / nightmare" way - rather, in a "new" way as if seeing it for the first time.
I am newly born - born today. I am tired of the journey through the birth canal to this outside world. I look around at the park, at the people playing soccer, families together, and I don't feel like a stranger. It is all as it should be. What is the future? I don't know, don't need to know.
I can be right here in the middle of being born and watching the world around me.
