"I was going to visit the swampland of my soul, make peace with death, and become one with the universe."
Metaphor in Context
When it was my turn to drink the little Dixie cup of muck she presented, I was stunned that divine consciousness--or really anything--could smell quite so foul: as if it had already been vomited up, by someone who'd been on a steady dieta of tar, bile, and fermented wood pulp. But I forced it down, and I was stoked. I was going to visit the swampland of my soul, make peace with death, and become one with the universe.
