Flight and Falling

The pics have nothing to do with the words.  I don't care.  The pics are from Ameba's current piece, "On the Edge" at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts.
I have no idea any more.  I've totally lost any concept of if I'm flying or if I'm falling, as far as I can tell, there is no difference between the two.  I'm overwhelmed on almost every side of life.  I can't handle it, and I love it.  The contradictions in my life are constant, and thorough.  I'm totally lost, and I just can't stop myself from continuing to go, further and further.  Reality is becoming a distant memory, unless where I'm at right now is reality, which I find hard to believe, but how would I know?
I increasingly see my life in terms of "Apocalypse Now".  It's my all time favorite movie.  It describes my life.  Surreality every where, all sides.  And I just keep getting pulled up river, pulled by some force I don't understand.  I don't know who I am, both in terms of which character I would most resemble (I can make arguments for the Chief, Lance, and the photojournalist, but I want to be Kurtz.) and I just don't know if I know who I am anymore.  I've chosen to let go, or remake so many parts of me in the last year, it's amazing, I'm happier, I'm a better person, a better human, but I'm not sure who I am, or where I am.  This isn't a bad thing, if anything, it's a good thing.  I'm just totally lost on the river.  Whatever it is, it works, but it's all such a swirl.

i know what you mean, man.
yeah, not posting every day now that I'm not invisible chained to my bed. (whoa. dirty.) I think that updates will mostly be M, W, F...WOMBAT scores and things. I also have time to rest and ice after PT most of the time. A good time to write.
