Balance

     There is a place I know of its not so far away. I go there to let my mind and body reclaim a state of balance that truly is me. I let go of the negative things that haunt me, knowing I can’t fix them. I reach deeply into my past to align it with the present riding myself of everything I consider poison. I do this drug free unlike the older times when a hit of acid would Transend me to whatever came into my mind. I don’t condone drug use even though I believe they did open a pathway into my soul that never could have been reached without them. The carefree days of music, free love and peace were the times in my life I remember the most and always will. Camping in the forest, swimming in the quarry naked as the day we were born into this world. Walking from campsite to campsite sharing whatever we had and always that feeling of being loved by all those around us. I can still smell the air filled with incense and weed blowing across the meadow watching as people caught fireflies in mason jars. Those times were unique to those of us who were there. Some try to recreate it today but fall short I think because their life’s leading up to today are just to different from ours. So now I go to a not so far away place and go back in time letting my mind and soul become balanced once again like it use to be when a gathering of people was a loving, peaceful place to be
