The energy from the earth was permitted into the chamber of remembrance. I felt glad about this. I ran home and told my family. They joined in the celebration.
The summer time attitude of teens can be fully appreciated near a beach. I remember those days. I often stood alone atop a rock. I admired swaths of flesh undulating in the dusk. Fruit bats twirled above our heads.
I remember coming home and finding the house empty. Everything had been stolen. I noticed that the floor was covered in baking powder.
I knelt down. I placed my finger against my tongue. I got it properly moist. Then I pressed my finger into the floor. I closed my eyes. I knew who had been here. I called the police.
“Sheriff speaking,” said a voice.
“I’m calling to report a burglary.” I whispered.
“What’ve they taken?” Asked the sheriff.
“My life is gone. Everything I worked for.”
“Stay calm. Drink some water and go for a walk.”
“When will you be here?” I asked, my voice trembling with grief.
“I’ll swing by around dinner time. Are you afraid of dogs?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Ok, I’ll bring Rex,” said the Sheriff. “He’ll sniff around for us.”
I walked down to the lake. The water sparkled wonderfully. If only I could allow myself to choose love in the face of darkness. I told myself to let go of my materialism.
The moon was directly above the CN Tower. It was a full moon. I knew what that meant.
I wandered into bushes and knelt besides a fairy shrine. I ran my hand through my hair. I hugged myself as if I were a child. I tried to stay calm. I soothed myself for about half an hour.
The sun had set when I opened my eyes. Little bats were hunting above the trees.
I walked back home. I passed a field full of food trucks. It looked like some kind of festival. There was a stage with bright lights. A band played country music in such a nice way.
I arrived home. I felt weird being inside. There was nothing there. All of my things were gone. I paced around for a little while. Then I sat on the floor.
I watched ants. They marched across the floor. They were searching for food. They would not find anything. There was no more food in this house.
I was wondering about my phone. Should l get a dumb phone? I am worried about my health. I just feel like I would be even smarter and wiser with the thing gone. I would be more present. It’s computers in general. Well it’s the internet, more specifically.
What would my life be without all of that? I guess there’s pros and cons to everything.
You can create connection. You can create meaning in dark places. You can communicate with celestial orbs who desire for you to feel loved when you are down in the dumps. You can heal the dark divide that separates your planet.
The healing will begin when the love of life is fully embraced. You have always known of planets that are inside of you. These orbs are particularly helpful for those who wish to heal their past.
It’s like an ever present line of plastic.
