Out and beyond. Drifting ... consciousness in two places at one time. A conscious 'out of body' perhaps. Untethered, awaiting the inner trade wind to lead me onwards on a thread ... seeking inspiration. Once more.A forgotten pattern firmly impressed in my mind. Its meaning deep witin. Familiar ... threads untie themselves from the knotted bundles of thoughts.
I watch a trail form out of the confusion. A dusty trail. Much like a desert, but I know with certainty there is no extreme heat in this place. I feel sense of touch down as my consciousness senses the earth at my feet. Then I have feet. But my form is much like that of a spectre.
Because a man close by is not aware of my presence. He stands alert. Watching from a wall across at a building. He is suspicious in my view. He is there awaiting a signal. His mind is filled with instructions given previously. 'There will be a diversion' ... 'but a safe time will have been prepared for you to slip by in hiding' ... I gain sense of these words though they were not the words spoken,
Impressions only. He is not alone. There are another two. One on a balcony. A dark haired man with moustache and scar. A local watching the holidaymakers below. He appears like a local ... but it seems he is not so ... he appears to have been bought to say what he is meant to say to those who will enquire after the pandemonium which will erupt.
Now ... my consciousness leaves this place ... drawn away after the deed is done. High in the sky above mountains and sea. There is a single boat causing ripples on a calm sea beneath summer skies. There is an island approach ... a waiting party at a wooden pier-like structure. It is rickety with age. It is away from watching eyes. A small bundle carried. 'Alive but sleeping' I hear. Into rough arms for a moment until one arrives by car. With sunglasses from out of the cool air conditioned interior of a waiting black car ....
Into the vehicle and up over a dusty winding road ... up and over a hillside. To a white villa overlooking the sea and the bay. A good point to watch. Aware of the outside world.
Later two men in a two seater helicopter land ... one with briefcase wanders to the waiting group. A smiling face ... the shaking of hands ...
The deed has been done, now the deceit and the long waiting game ....
