INTO THE DARK

There's a place beyond the light that illuminates reality, somewhere between here and there. It lies inside two lines on a page, you pass through it on your way to work, you can almost taste it in the shower while you watch all of life's issues seemingly vanish, you can feel it while swimming in a lake, your skin almost diffusing into the water. Time stops, sounds cease, and imagination is materialized. If you shut your eyes, and you desired to dream any dream you want to, life would become what you see. But it's not enough to know that you're dreaming. After a while you would want to go on more adventurous dreams to fulfill the desire of what you see as opposite of reality, and in the midst of this adventure you would want the dream to feel so real that you don't realize that you're dreaming. You would do that so many times until you dream where you are now, reading these words in a perspective that the dream has convinced you are real. And in the dark, through the all the doorways you've passed through, the breeze you've felt during a storm, maybe you could catch a glimpse of what it would be like to wake up out of this dream and experience absolute truth.
