i stared straight down, and a little ahead..as my thoughts kinda stood still and hovered. i made my way through them at a leisurely pace, stopping only to listen when prompted. it was one of those moments when wondering with the intent to simply understand doesn't get you much more than a mind full of clutter. the sun swayed my decision as i felt it pour in, causing a whirlwind of all that i thought that i knew. and skimming through details in a circular motion left me smiling at the sound of the static...that pleasantly invaded my space.
