Ordinarily

 being open and inquisitive to discover the extraordinary

Just A Little Bit

 of rest to have a teeny-weeny dream

something hard to come by

Trunk

 a lifeline of sorts

always fearing to be suddely truncated

Footing

 the obstacles reality puts forward abruptly

Antenna

 realising the beauty all around keeping me warm inside

Re-flection

 all those haunting spectral apparitions

Quadruped

to get faster into the wilds
