You are not alone

I'm not talking about little green men or other alien-forms with overly large craniums and absurdly stick-like limbs with the requisite 3 toes and 3 fingers. I'm talking about other humans. There's lots of them. All around you. All the time.

From time to time we find ourselves in some other place; a zen-like non-earth place occupied solely by me. Or you. Or someone else. Regardless, it's our own individual place, complete with a no-one-else-but-me-can-be-here attitude. And it's righteous.

But see, it's not that simple. Because whilst we hover, drift, and float in our own oblivion, life goes on. Life continues. Why? Because that's what life does. It's really that simple. So my advice to you, to myself, is equally simple: don't float too long, because you might miss something really cool. And once it's gone…well, life just moves on.

Wasn't that blissfully short? And yet still packed with profound, life-altering goodness. And all for free.

See you on the pavement.
