I wish I could remember that enchanting evening vividly! I was so binged on alcohol that images had started to loom and float away as the evening ended. I remember the guests dancing to a pop-tune that I cherished the most. That one evening, I was nobody's wife, nobody's daughter, nobody's mother, nobody's daughter-in-law.
Actually, when I look back and think of it, I was nobody that one evening. And that feeling made me happy! Life seemed almost prim and perfect. It never had been that way! We tittered, we sang, we danced, we laughed, we grinned. The thought that we had to pick up the pieces of our lives back again and start afresh the next day didn't bother me at all!
Why did it make me feel so better? This need to be with the others. This connection with the others, forgetting who we are!
Why?

Intriguing question; intriguing post...
Thanks Berowne!
Such a primal instinct , we are all connected at some atomic level ...our bodies made of the same elements that comprise the biosphere that we strangely interpret as being apart from us ...damned apple !
a blast from the past for sure!
