I am warm
I am warm, safe and content here in my little corner of the world, with my
face to the wall I am disconnected from influences that will cloud my day,
my mood.
But that's no way to exist, because merely existing isn't good enough, it
should never be. It stops here.
I turn my face away from my safe corner, first only my face and then my
shoulders slowly turn until my body has to follow or stay behind. And stay
behind it can't because my mind has seen the first glimpses of a place where
the sun is bright. I stand with my back to the wall now, some part of me
still clinging to that safety behind me, but a bigger part of me wants to
know what is out there beyond the first step I will take.
Being merely safe is not good enough, a person in a tower is safe, yes, but
how fulfilled can you be? Yes, it is true, if I let nobody or nothing into
that safe and comfortable space that is mine, I can't suffer, I don't have
to know fear, or pain. Not knowing all of these emotions though excludes me
from knowing joy, or love, or happiness, and it is my time now, to know all
of these emotions that makes me human.
For I now know that when we loose touch with who we are, we are doomed.
Always looking in from the outside at what our lives could have been like,
if only we had the courage to take back what was ours in the first place.
