In Your Own Mind...

I stared up at the dark-blue-outlined infinite black void that was above me, trying to search through it’s infinite depths.

I looked down, an boundlessly serene baby blue. No sign of earth below.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” The man standing next to me said.

“Where am I?” I asked.

“In the great depths of your own mind.” The man said. “The darkness above us represents all of your past experiences and knowledge. The sky below us represents all you can do, will do, and beyond. These clouds, including the one you and I are standing on, represent the present, what is happening. We are standing upon the middle ground of all that will be in your lifetime.”

“But..what does that mean?” I asked.

“It means that you can either go up and see all that has been, or you can take the plunge and see all that will be.” The man said.

“I…I wanna go down.” I said.

“Fine, let’s see how deep the depths go.” He said.

I waited a minute, then I grinned at the man.

“See you at the bottom.” I said, and fell down into the sky.
