Ruminations - Part 6
Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. But how do you keep from drowning in it?

Nice analogy - drowning. And therein lies the answer as well - you deal with the deluge of reality the way you would deal with being in deep waters...harsh, instinctive action that cuts away the frills and focuses on sheer survival.
thanks for making it more real!
