Interchapter Report 4: Practicing Safety
Part XI: Hard Times
And suddenly he was back in the safe place he’d found in Chapter 30, Outside Space And Time.
He imagined that he was far away from his life’s turmoil, but still at the center at the universe.
He imagined the universe surrounding him.
He imagined himself as a mistake.
He imagined himself connected to his family. Some of his relatives were struggling, but most were just working. All connected.
He imagined that he knew what he needed to practice to face that day. And he knew.
He imagined that he had the time he needed to practice what he needed to practice to face that day.
He took the time and practiced.
And practiced.
And practiced.
He was between chapters so he could practice all he wanted.
