Balance

Buried memories surface, writing my new novel.  It’s complicated, exploring the caverns of my emotions and then moving through the rest of my day upright on top of the earth.  I just bought a firm mattress.  Well, the word firm is a misnomer.  I sleep on a slate of rock coils covered with skinny smooth fabric, much like hard crushed stone in the desert, dusted in sand.  I can stretch and move all night.  My back no longer hurts.  In my study, my writing chair is filled with plump pillows, thick and soft.  Two worlds.  Two different comforts.

    Hi David,
    Keep on writing, the sanity of it speaks volumes compared to what’s going on all around us.

    Hi Mr. Campbell,
    Keep writing in your comfortable space and sleeping in your firm mattress, they are described beautifully. Luke.
