After spending such a long time in a certain routine, a sudden change can leave a person drifting. With all the familiar challenges gone, it can be difficult to find a path. Escape can become a viable option – at least for a while.
| Escape? My eyes opened to the morning light, and I recognized I was once again at the cusp of another day where I was faced with the same crossroad yielding similar results at end of day, no matter what the decision I made. Hopeful enthusiasm filled a few hours, waning more quickly as days went by until the future became a blur … then just hopelessness and sorrow. Amusing myself each day with work that went nowhere, read by no one. Figuring things out is my forte, but there were no options remaining from which to choose a direction; Only holding tight until life was done. Biding my time, reading for hours living vicariously through their worlds until living in those fantastical worlds was my world. I awoke each morning with only the desire to enter once again the worlds reading books afforded me, until sleep pulled me away each night. ©Dannye Williamsen |
