A loosening of the shackles.

My mind is being seized. Possessed. From afar. By a wonderful and irresistible force. And I'm allowing myself to go along. For the ride. Something tells me. I could have hitch-hiked through life. This way.  And maybe I did. Without consciously knowing it. But now I am more conscious than ever. No, I am not on anything. Instead, I am mesmerized.  By pure thought.  Maybe it's a loosening of the shackles.  Worn all my life. --Jim Broede
