Mind and Reality

mind> what is it again?

reality> oh... hi?..

mind> ⌥ please don’t be upset with me.

reality> why would I ever be?

mind> because of how much I worry you. it’s just...

reality> it’s what...?

mind> it’s just... I’m not you. I’m never on time. I never know what’s going on. I can’t keep up with you. I don’t really “exist” on your plane of existence. I just... can’t be you… and it worries me to no end.

reality> … come sit down with me.

-reality & mind stayed still for awhile, just breathing, emotions were calmer this way-

mind> reality...

reality> yes...?

mind> is it okay to be afraid of you?

reality> no, never.

mind> why?

reality> because everyone is afraid of you too. even me at times. you see... you’re fear. but you’re also courage. you’re logic. but also curiosity. you’re based on ideas, in dreams, in the stars. you’re full of purpose. you do things your way. you’re separate because you’re extraordinary. a force of nature. not even the universe dares to question that. if it weren’t for you, I’d be empty. just a barren void. you're the opposite of peace, the yang to yin. minus to plus. without you, I’m really just nothing. you see?

mind> I guess. but I still feel really useless.

reality> that’s okay.

mind> okay?

reality> yes, remember I’m here. I’m your stones, your trees, your letters, your numbers. I’m your snow, your rain. your seasons, your life. I paved roads for you, on skies, and sidewalks, and beaches. I’m your markers, your benches, your your your’s... even when you’re unsure. reassuring you is what I’m built for. just call, when you need me.
