My heart skips a beat.
Suddenly, people become blurs and their voices just so much buzzing...... like bees.
I cannot focus, not even on my own feet!
Sound becomes louder now, and this buzz is nearly deafening. I want to cover my ears and run...... find a hole to crawl in and hide.
But I cannot really see. I only see shapes without much definition. I fear I shall crumble into a crushed heap on the ground, and I find it difficult to breathe.
LIght and sound get loud then ebb, loud then ebb, like so many waves on the beach. My heart is squeezing and it hurts, so I clutch my chest. I reach for something to steady myself and find something. I cling to it tightly and stop. I close my eyes.
Breathe. Stop. Breathe. Stop.
I sink into my heart to feel it beating. I breathe deeply to slow it's rhythm. Within my heart is love. Eyes still closed, I swim in my heart, which pumps out love. Love is kind. Love is so great there is no room for fear. And I breathe. I inhale peace. I exhale all the chaos. My mind flows out as through a long twisted funnel. I open my eyes, seeing through my heart that all is well.
People are no longer blurs, but shining beings with harmonious voices. I'm smiling. And no one has any idea I've just been to hell and back. I exhale and continue to walk in love.

We walk in love, and as Kerwin explained to me, see through our hearts, and we are alright.
;-)
I appreciate all your kind comments. Walking in love.... it's the answer to all stress and despair. And yet it is often what I must REMIND myself to do.
I suppose just like in life now. I am drinking fully and not holding myself to somebody elses boundaries. Glad you found it, Kathryn!
Thanks for stoppin' by!
