Longing

Skin

About two weeks ago I left the mental institution. (See here, here and here.)
The mental institution is still under my skin. In hindsight it felt like a true vacation from society.
But I have to admit that sitting next to my mother in her garden comes close to a vacation from society as well.
Where my mother appears there is no society anymore, just my mother. She is a living monument to the limitations of the civilization process.
