It was right there in front of me...the extraordinary glass palace of my dreams. I had pretended in my sleep of standing in the middle of a room, swinging a flail and smashing all my anxieties. But this was only to be a brief journey to forage for morel mushrooms. Our little group was silent under the stars. I was the only one concentrating on this beautiful structure. We tried to join, carefully concentrating on our journey. Suddenly the quiet was broken by the sound of an exploding bullet hitting the door of the palace. I rushed to the beautiful building and kicked the shards away. I did not think of paying attention to the danger. I simply looked around for a spiked ball on a chain to cause my life long dream to conclude. Yes, I had fired the bullet and now I wanted our group to equally share my dream of smashing everything in sight.
Grinning. Sometimes destruction feels soooo good. And hooray for smashed anxieties.
ReplyDeleteDestruction does feel good sometimes, I take it out on my poor garden. When I feel the need to smash something, I get out there and prune a bit more harshly than usual, hacking back this plant and that tree.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd like to be smashing a glass palace though. A sandcastle would be more fun. For me.
It sounds very cathartic.
