And I’ve always been a tethered soul
Have you ever just floated?
Have you ever just been?
Without really knowing where you’re being?
I’m generally really good about living life leaping off cliffs
But I’m not actually sure where I’ve landed
The days go by and I do the things
I’m supposed to do
Say yes, when I’m supposed to , and no, when I should
I buy the groceries
I make the food
I eat the food
But I don’t know where I am
I have always been good at being in multiple realities
In front of me, there is a street sign, each sign pointing in a different direction
As if I should go this way or that way or the other way or I should stop
Who can handle so many different directives all at once
When nothing feels like it’s the right way I’m supposed to go
I’m sitting in a chair
But at any moment that too can cease to exist
I suppose it will just be another Cliff
Is this what life is?
A series of trapdoors we fall into an out of
Tumbling
Waving at and smiling at those we pass by
Until finally, we land
I’m ready to land
Maybe it is the purpose of this life to learn to be un-tethered?
