My mind keeps racing and won’t stop. The thoughts keep coming back and won’t leave. I fight for freedom from my own mind to escape the memories that won’t fade. Just when I feel everything is cool my drama starts to resurface, and with all that drama recycling itself, it’s hard not to let it blind you.

I woke up, cursed the day, and wished for this pain in my chest to go away. So I walked. I did not speak, I did not care. I kept in one direction and there was no change to what was already there. Time passed around me like a whirlpool that wouldn’t stop until every last drop was sucked into its void. Then I stopped.

The music was uplifting; it was distracting and mesmerizing. Is this what can set me free? Will this help settle my thoughts, make the mind unite with the body?

I let my body play with the melodic sounds in the air. Each beat helped me find a rhythm in my movements. I found myself dancing in the streets of down town Austin, with no care in the world. My mind searched for a new, move something I could conjure up on the spot that went with the music. Every fiber of my brain exploded with ideas and translated them into physical forms with my every movement. The sidewalk was my dance floor as well as my dinner table, I feasted on a buffet of beats and I was extremely hungry for more! People gathered and cheered; I saw smiles which triggered me to smile as well. I didn’t stop for the cheers, no pause when credit was given for an amazing move, there was no time to bow and accept the applause because the music was still going and my mind and body flowed like the rapids in a raging river. Nothing but pure style emanated off of me as I ventured on into the vast wilderness of this dance. The music came to a stop; I stood there breathless; sweat trickled down off my face and onto the dry hard pavement. I couldn’t hear anything except my heavy panting. It felt like a marathon of dancing; my body felt tight and warm and I was fiending for more. I looked up and noticed a larger crowd had gathered I got a few pats on my back they too wanted more.

There is much to fear in this new age world of chaos, deceit, and infidelity. But I realized my mind no longer was in havoc mode. It was calm and collected, and I noticed this town has that cure. It has the distractions that help us keep moving forward and away from what causes these unwanted aches and pains in the mind and in the heart. I’m sure we all have our insatiable demons that will not stop pestering us from the inside, so what is it that helps you liberate your afflictions?
