Mines drug related. (surprise)

Following a quite successful 2 day LSD session I found myself coming back to reality. I was tired, sore and still not quite 100% sane. I was also afloat in a stolen canoe, drifting down the Deleware river outside of Newhope, PA. Some rapids approaching, nothing too serious. Everything went surprisingly well; I bounced off a few boulders, was swept along by the swift current and basically kept the canoe upright and happy. Ok: here comes the drug induced reasoning (and near death)... I was having such a good time bouncing through the rapids I figured it would be a fine idea to jump out of the canoe, swim over to one of the boulders in the rapids, climb out and simply meditate there for a few hours like some amazing monk. Well, I found myself immediately pulled under. I clawed and scraped my way to the surface a few times for a meager breath of air, only to be sucked down again and dragged through boulders and dark currents. I felt the energy go out of my limbs; I could no longer swim and I resigned myself to a sense of... well, I felt myself hovering in a vacuum. There was a consciousness there, a very maternal consciousness... and yet still much darkness. I felt a sense of affection, perhaps a laughing approval from this space borne hovering consciousness... and then I awoke along the rivers edge. A fisherman had seen my struggles and risked his own life to jump in and save me. I threw up for awhile. I regained enough strength to thank him for saving my life. (I thanked him profously, though shamefully I never caught his name)

And then I shuffled home, humbled and near drowned.
