Retreat
My spiritual guru’s voice was ringing in my head as I started climbing the stairs.
‘Each step will take you to the eternal light. Don’t look back. Surrender and you will attain enlightenment and salvation’
I thought it easy as I had nothing to lose except this sickly body which has given me nothing but miseries.
I was about to take the plunge when fear of surrendering to unknown grasped me.
Back there was at least a world of known hell of addictive miseries. Whereas here was surrendering to unknown about which I was not sure.
I retreated to my hell.
Sharing Thoughts 
Oh I do love this… I get this brilliant line from Me and Bobby McGee reverberating:
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
But maybe there something left to lose after all.

Dear Indira,
What a sad commentary. How often the familiar, no matter how desperately miserable is preferable to some than the unknown. It speaks of those with addictions who are afraid to be healthy and productive. Wonderfully written, my dear.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Very sad, Indira. Perhaps she has some reason for going back she won’t admit to. She could also be thinking about family, or isn’t used to just giving up. Good writing. —- Suzanne
