digging upwards

take a deep breath. hold onto it. beautiful isn't it? astronomy is an uncomfortable subject for the agoraphobic.
let it go because holding on for too long becomes counterproductive.
with solid rock beneath my feet and nothing but limitless space above my head there is nowhere to go but up.
i can't figure out where i am in the universe until i figure out where the universe ends.
the middle of nowhere is plenty more precise a position than i am privileged to understand.
no matter how deep a hole i dig for myself, i feel comfort knowing that if i just keep digging long enough,
eventually i'll be digging upwards and tomorrow will soon be yesterday.
time to stretch.
