clara Beautiful man! Are You Ok, Diane?
PETERGILBERT The walls close in around me. I feel myself slipping, The line between reality and sanity blending, fading. I walk on the rim carefully balancing. Taunting, teasing, risking dangerously near falling. Below me a beckoning abyss. Calling me Welcoming me Spirits cry out, "Join us. Let us free your suffering." The battle has waged too long. I am done. Unable to fight anymore I give in. The ropes surround me like weights pull me under. The abyss consumes me enveloping, surrounding me. A Hand appears out of the light. Strong arms to pull me from the darkness. To save me from myself and impending sleep. I am brought back from the edge. I return to the world into the light and the truth. Released from my chains as a butterfly I fly free and strong to greet the new dawn. Awake. Alive. No longer do I fear the edge. It has retreated. I stand on solid ground. Not alone, but with you. Friend. Rescuer.
