Mid-trip Frenzy... or 'A state of total empathy'

[Vaile*]

Some three weeks ago, I ran away from the abyss that was forming infront of my eyes. There was no light; the stars were waxing underneath a sea of oil and water. I found myself inside, relieved to see light emanating from a box; pixelized, but not incomprehensible. The music started, and so did I :

A state of total empathy. It’s not bliss. An overwhelming urge to stare into that part of your soul marked void. I’ve never known a state of sadness as pure as the humming of violin strings. I’m not even sure if humming is a way to describe it. It’s an acceptance of a sort, that you can step back into the eyes of an entity that can deal death and loss, and just ACCEPT. Acceptance; and complete and total understanding that this point in time, is part of it all. It’s entirety. A field of a proportion I can’t begin to imagine nor one with boundaries. One that I wouldn’t be able to fence in, as a part of that comprehensible sphere my head resides in.
It’s chipping away at it. A small soul with a chisel, breaking away minute parts of my brain. It’s not a brain, it’s a fucking soul. I can throw it all waya. This physical thing I’m in at the moment. I have to get it down before the music stops. I ca n’t deal
I woke with considerable shock.
The path twisted.
And I am changed.

there was a few things in this that spoke to me. the line about violins is so true, and that of time even more so. the one comodity we can never have enough of and we still constantly find ourselves "killing time" as if we hvae too much.
anyway, i really liked this. thank you vaile*

I hate to say trite things, but I'm in hurry.
