I Unplugged. I Stepped Back.

I unplugged. I stepped back. I shrugged off anything remotely resembling productivity. I casually left my cell phone lying around ‘anywhere’. I amused myself by discovering missed calls days later. I shut down higher thoughts and dimmed the light of my ‘dream projector’. I stopped listening to voice mail. I stopped reading e-mail.

It felt good to lose myself in a blank mind. The echoes of dark silence were refreshing. The ghost of the past, the present, and the future all faded from existence. I existed in peaceful detachment. My synapses cooled. It was bliss not to chase the sun across the sky for any reason. It was deeper bliss to follow along with every whim about what to do on any given day with Glenda.

Sitting on the couch last night we reflected in the past weeks activities and fondly discovered that we’d enjoyed every day immensely. Four boxes of chocolate truffles attest to our excursions. We won’t finish those in one day and that’s for sure. She found those Ray Bans she was looking for. That was the best week we’ve had in a long time and the best vacation to boot! It was quality time at its best forming smiles, laughter, and good memories to fall asleep to.
