I awoke in daze, sweaty and feverish. I winced as I sat up, my head pounding as the room rippled and flowed into the corners of my vision, distorted somehow.

Three hours later, lying on my back under the air-conditioner, wet wash cloth over my eye’s I came back to myself. The aspirin and the herbs worked, I took better than a dozen of the later.

I smiled as I looked through my bathroom window as I laid there on the floor. It was the green leaves in my window, the vine that grew wild and was in the processes of covering my bathroom window with its beauty that was bringing such joy.
