When I woke up this morning I had an odd feeling of total peace with everything. It was a peace that must have risen out of the cranky, tumultuous evening that expressed itself in the melancholy of Victory at Sea's show and wound down with a ringing in my ears until I finally slept. This peace and quiet in my head came out of that. It came from letting go, somehow, of some of my old attachments. I feel most free when I am alone, when I'm not depending on anyone else for my happiness. For a long while I've felt too dependent on having people around. But now I think I'm coming back into my element as a loner.
When I woke up this morning I had a feeling of total peace with everything. It was a peace that made me believe that today couldn't be ruined by anything. And I was right.
