I wander around my cage holding me in the unknown. I lie down on my bed and fall asleep, leaving my cage behind, I go up and out the dirty old roof, and I look down as I keep going up. I see my house, street, my whole town now, and I’m going faster, all of Missouri now or at least what I can see through the clouds. I’m looking down at Earth, How small it all seems. I still go on only faster, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 planets, a magnificent sun in the middle of it all. On and on, where did it all come from, the entire galaxy now, I’m going faster now, but it all seems to go so slowly through my mind, I’m missing something. I keep going, I see an endless sea of light, I realize that I have come so far, it is a sea of galaxies, I’m still missing something. I think for 2 or 3 min. or is it 2 or 3 hours, I’ve lost all concept of time, I think I’ve stopped. Where does it all end? Where does it all begin? Where did God himself come from? I realize what I’m missing, I realize I had the answer all along, I realize the very meaning of life, at that moment of realization, I am back in my cage, but now the bars have broken away. I stand up and I leave my shattered cage and walk out into the unknown…
…and understand it.
