Sam forgot everything; himself, his life, his commitments and relationships. He meditated with intensity, unknown to him till now. All of a sudden, he could find himself rising in the air, floating in the breeze. Fear struck his heart as he opened his eyes.
Cars honked and buses zoomed past in a chaotic manner. His dwelling in the air was not peaceful either. Birds tried to prick him and further movement upwards could cause collision with aeroplanes.
Sam looked below. A couple of boys were trying to steal fruits from his garden, he thought indignantly. A pretty high school girl strolled with her dog. Was she his classmate, Jessica? Thinking of class and school, he needed to complete his record work.
Sam fell down with a thud. “I am not ready for this yet.” he thought, wretchedly.
The above was written for Ermilia’s Picture it & Write.
Always back to Earth with a thud. Good one!
Yes, he is not able to take himself to the next level in meditation, as he still thinks of earthly pressures, pleasures and commitments. Thank you very much for the read:)
Oh if only I could fly away!
Yes, it’d probably be wonderful to fly away:) Thank you for visiting. much appreciated
How much fun it would be if I could fly. No traffic jams. Great read.
Thank you, Susan:)
Meditation and astral projection. I was going to go with something like that but never got round to it. Glad you got yours out before mine. A great story
Thank you, Alastair. Hope you will go on with your story. Was that meant for this photo?
Yes it was. 🙂 It screamed astral projection at me. I think I will just rework it 🙂

Thanks Padmini. Hope yours is good as well.

Cool. I’ve got to go out in a minute, but I don’t want to. So far to walk. Oh well, stops for photos on the way will help 🙂
true:)
he! Love this Nightlake, he was lifted in spirit above the world. Happy weekend to you!
Hi Cao, Thank you so much and wish you a great weekend:)
I use to wish that I could hop on a cloud & fly away too when I was a kid. But – that was to see if I could peek to see what Heaven looked like.
Yes, that would be easier, isn’t it:) Meditation is a lot tougher, requiring a lot of concentration and detachment from the world. Thank you for reading, Rosy
Reality can be harsh — but we all sometimes need flights of fancy, I reckon
very true. Thanks so much and wish you a happy weekend
