She knew it was a lie.

She believed the conspiracies of no human ever touching the moon.

and why certain astronauts and physicists mysteriously died.

So she was going to find out for herself.

If the country she lived in lied about so much then maybe they also lied about the scientific findings about space....

like if there was oxygen.

So she read books upon books on space satellites.

They were after all the closest thing that ever got into space.

She had read that it was big enough for a human body to fit inside.

jammed a bit but, she figured the trip would be fast.

One deathly still hollow night, she sneaked into a space shuttle pad.

She squeezed herself into the satellite they were about to launch.

How she managed to do this, no one is really sure...

But...

BLAST OFF!

Up she went.

It was super fast, like melt your skin fast, but she hung on.

Then it stopped.

She could still breathe....

She opened up the satellite and...

she was orbiting planet earth.

she stepped out.

she was just in space.

you don't really float in space.

you just are.

she explored galaxies far and wide and become a sage of sorts.

she wanted to come back and share this enlightenment with all of humankind.

so she was shown a staircase.

she descended this staircase back to earth.

she ended up in the middle of the Bermuda triangle.

she somehow swam back to land and started her stories.

but they heard.

they knew.

and they killed her.

just like they will kill me for writing this story down.

they are lying.

we can breathe in space and on top of that we can go anywhere and do anything.

the universe is us.

we are the universe.

now.

and when they kill me...just like they killed her...they will think they are winning...but they are only spreading the knowledge.

they are creating a crack in society's barriers and something wonderful is oozing through.

the universe is winning.

TIME

the change was so sudden.

it just happened.

the earth opened up and swallowed some of us whole....or so it felt like.

"What!? Why is this happening now?"

some will scream.

"Why were there not warnings?"

"Why didn't we know???"

some will be asking over and over.

Some others will be smiling.

inside and out.

the change did not affect them in the same way.

and they will answer those questions:

"there were signs.

right in front of your face.

from the day you were born in this life.

it was in the bird that came to your window every morning.

in that book at the used bookstore in the metaphysics section that was priced $1.50.

in all the books that you happened to glance over...written in the 60,s the 70's the 80's the 90's and now.

it was in that song you were humming without realizing.

it was in that child's sentence that made no sense to you but left you with a haunting feeling.

it was in that mushroom trip

that acid trip

that MDMA trip

that high.

those feelings that drugs give you that you wanted to keep not realizing that those feeling WERE you all along.

it was in that stranger preaching on the corner about universal love.

it was in the music.

it was that feeling you got when you realized everything was alright.

it was when you stopped and recognized your breath.

it was when you saw and felt love consciously.

it was when you stopped to chat with someone you thought you did not know and then realizing we live in a small world...

then realizing that everything must be connected.

do not question this.

there were always signs.

it was YOU who decided to ignore them.

you could have known about this change.

you could have been "ready"

so do not get angry.

you had the chance to realize but passed it by."

they will all look at each other and finally notice the energy change and the connections that have pushed through.

they will remember all those signs in a flash flood of memories.

they will sigh.

we will all laugh.

and then we will all love.
