Floating, high and mightily
I'm floating alot these days. I float because I have erratic sleep patterns because of my school timetable, the Chronicle and preferred social schedule, and when I float due to lack of sleep, I cease thinking altogether and go around feeling like my feet have been taken over by wings and I'm at peace with myself.
I floated -
1) at the adm rooftop today, under the stars and on the grassy patch, a year since my last visit and trying very hard to remember how I felt the last time I was there
2) on Bev's balcony on sunday during morning prayer before church, breathing in the breeze and thinking of heaven as I felt Him land in the middle of our breakfast table
3) while driving home from the airport last night with no cars on the road and my favourite acoustic strains of 'From the inside out'
4) during sleepover conversations, twice this week, as I felt blessed to have the GGs in my life and feeling calm despite the moans and groans of the 'state we're in', and like Julienne put it, this must be what it's like to feel very zen
5) through rainy mornings, soaked shoes and bus rides
6) while praying at Starbucks with four cups of pseudo toffee-nut lattes, filled with faith
7) while playing Cranium after church - there came a point where I wasn't quite thinking anymore and started daydreaming instead of guessing
I'm surprisingly relaxed for my fourth week in school. It's a very different semester from the last, where now my relationships and life outside school matter much more than lectures and tutorials. I've also realised I like writing when I'm thinking of nothing and running on no sleep in thirty-six hours.
