Impressions

The light lay in pieces, a prism of tones of steel. I tried to bring it into focus. 

Remember this! Be grateful! If you were anywhere else right now, you'd want to be here. This is the epitome of your desire.

I'd repeat this but it reverberated out into the abyss. Started at the finish, which was a loss. Need to start gratefully, not seek gratitude. Another of many bent perceptions.

A person came crashing in on my left. No right. Tall and sinuous, skinny blonde viking. Apple of my eye, grinning from ear to ear. Brimming with excitement; joy; gratitude. He makes it look so easy. 

He begins to talk rapidly of the many wonders to behold, beheld on long journeys on foot, while I stood and struggled with a mouthful of confusion, consumed by beauty. I'm barely listening, it's all the same. Happy chatter. I want to leave, be somewhere else, to want to be here.

I'm already excited.
