Nirvana

Colorful contemplations transform into dreamlike states as Valishka lies quietly on her bed. Thoughts swirling through her frontal cortex, jump from one neuron to the next, as they harvest beautiful imagery of things she loves the most. 

Moving in a meditative state toward her bedside as she sits up, she stares onward toward the nothingness that she enjoys so clearly. Her physical presence is underwhelmed by her trailing thoughts of future times and happy pasts. 

Falling downward onto the floor to press her back against a rugged carpet, her body relishes in the hardened textures of the mat. She allows the sun to pierce her cornea as it blurs her worldly view and transcends her deeper into the realms of fantasy.
