Joining the navy, though regimented, was a way for him to escape. He felt free when he was at sea and I have that same feeling whenever I  go travelling.”

I haven’t had them since and I really miss the feeling. It felt like I was sliding on a tubelike soft surface into a hole, where there is a source of a bright light. I wasn’t thinking about anything, and can’t really tell if it was my body sliding or my mind. I believed and still believe that the route was taking me to an another world, to an unconscious one.” ― ZhaxiyangdanThank you Zhaxiyangdan for your trust and for the complete freedom with your idea!
