mind trip

my mind wants to take a trip 
away from all the chaos - 
frigid winters, cutthroat politics,
the new volatility of American news

I just want my face to 
bask in the warm sunshine
let the body relax without
worrying about what comes next

    I feel for you all, and don't blame you for wanting to relax in the sunshine. Poignant quadrille.

    I hear you. My getaways are movies, books, and video games.

    I usually escape to a good movie or song when I feel overwhelmed

    For me it is being disconnected that make all the difference.

    We all need to find some way and time to relax.

    Yes, Maria, a mind trip would do us all good, especially not worrying about what comes next.

    Me too, Maria! Writing and reading poetry is a good way to mind travel :)

    Arcadia, take me with you, please! Right now world over things are bad and we all need a break. Thanks for this lovely, plaintive Q.
