Traveling in Depression land
I started to meditate and let my imagination land on a scene from a movie. I am the main character. In the first scene, I am attacked by a wild beast in Africa. I am saved by a tiger who kills the beast and starts eating it. Monkeys arrive for comic relief while I sit among the tigers wondering if they will eat me too. In the second scene, I plan and execute my escape before the tigers try to eat me. This is where it ends. I have at this point never quite gotten to safety.
Then I switch stories. Now I am at a beach where I dive in the water and start swimming with fish. I am like a diver, but I do not need air. I am swimming with a turtle when the movie ends. The audience is left to wonder if I will reemerge from the sea.
Both of these stories are about trying to escape and ultimately being trapped. But there is a vague hope…
