So much…
So much is left to the imagination… to the individual imagination… to the individual creative mind to construct… So much is left unsaid, undone, unwritten… Sew much is desired to be and left to the will of the four winds… So much of life is as it should be and so much is off center for the lack of restraint… One always wishes to control another… there is fear in another being ahead… the leader wishes to restrict others from reaching his place… So much of what is happening is due to basic human nature…
A bit of the blues plays and I am inspired to listen to what the words are saying… I enjoy the ritual of listening and smiling at the expressions and finding a place for them in my life yet I donut take them to heart as some do… The words speak to me of experiences the artist has but they are not my experiences and there fore it entertains me and releases inside me the emotions that go along with that… I can listen to what they are saying… and enjoy the ride…
My dreams have been filled… I have done much of what I was destined to do… that may seem funny… strange to say… there is more if I choose to allow the hand of fate once more to influence me… My place is some what on the fringes of reality… It is a touch a prod a guiding hand… from a far off place on the shoulders of others… It is knot my place to be but to be separate… to step back away from another’s reality and to play with it in a humorous way… I had my opportunity and I chose poorly… and I chose wonderfully… and created a fantasy life that is endless… It is time to choose a way once more… a new pattern to the future… I am looking once more for a miracle… and I know I will find it…
So much of life is worthy of our smiles and our laughter… So much is waiting for our time to call attention to the wonders that men do… Life is a balance of what is and what is not… The imagination runs wild in all directions at once… reaching out to the farthest reaches… smacking head long into the so called limitations of reality and challenging that reality to go further and further still…
One cannot be other then who they are… One cannot change the elements of their soul… one can only be true to themselves by being true to their own destiny… Listen to the call of your heart… step aside and allow fate and destiny to lead you a bit… when we stop we can hear the call… we can hear the wonders of life… and respond to them…
Do you hear the music of the day playing about you or are you deaf to her chords? Can we hear the sounds of nature playing about us? So much is missed in our haste to get from here to there… So much is stepped over in the race to get ahead of the next one… Can you hear the music of the night as well? Can you check into the sounds of life and move with it adding your own unique notes to the symphony? I wonder a lot about the need to be a part of something as magical as this…
Missing a few days
I have missed a few daze recently to go on alternate adventures of the mind… I have stepped off a particular path to enjoy other paths… The routine of writing the way I write requires a desire to place on paper all my thoughts in no particular order… Listen to the words as they lift themselves off the page and dance magically before your eyes now the musical notes add to the flavor of the fantasy… I have missed a few daze and left a note or tow to wander about aimlessly in the hope that they will touch ground and take root… Cultivate the mind with good seeds and the garden will grow diverse and colorful…
It is natural to want to step away from the routine of the day and to create another pattern one less direct… one with more flexibility… In all things… once the pattern is set the imagination begins to wander… wishing to improve on the vehicle that has gotten us to this point… I have missed a few days and now I am back… wishing I was some where other then here… Time to go forward… to retreat to the future… to find another place to play…
Expectations…
It is interesting how one will rise and fall to the expectations placed upon them… I have fallen prey to that particular roller coaster a number of times… We get what we expect to get… As we search and that is what we do each day we will look for what we expect and when we find it be satisfied that we have found what we are looking for… If you expect to find evil in the world you will… If you expect to find delight you will find that… It is as we see it… How we filter out the activities of the world… and reveal what we are searching for… All of what we have now always existed yet we are still discovering ways of using these elements better… We have found ways to make the most of what we have by being creative… yet it is that same creativity we fear… Creativity at the cost of the earth… Over time we have modified our creative spirit to take into account the earth that sustains us… I have high expectations for what life holds… for my destiny and my fate… I have even higher expectations for those around me… Yet I am pleased with what ever they achieve… The secret is to provide a platform for success a place where being happy, successful, creative and comfortable is expected… In this type of environment real leaps are made…
I expect to be happy each day so there fore I am… I expect to hear from each and every one… and satisfied with what happens… I am never disappointed in what I receive… I am always delighted in the achieve mints of my family…
Life is not perfect so in those times when less is gained… or as they say shit happens it is important to respond in a manner that creates an expectation that change is required and a deeper focus is required to place the matter back on a more suitable track… Each person will respond to a specific set of stimulus and all means should be employed to achieve the desire reactions…
There are times when the expectations far exceed the ability of the person to obtain them… Or the expectations is based on a fantasy as opposed to fact… At those times it is proper to reset the expectations to a reasonable level that can be accomplished… We all need goals as well as limits set… A place we can feel secure playing in… That is achieved by setting these expectations and guidelines for gaining what we desire…
There are also times when the desire of an individual or group focused together can achieve a higher expectation simply by combining their efforts and focusing their talents together for the good of the group or team… This is why teams of lesser talent that work well together defeat teams of greater individual talent… who are more interested in themselves… The pressure of expectation can have its effects on those who are suppose to be the best… The pressure to achieve that success day after day takes its toll… Better to set the goal as high as it can and keep moving it just slightly out of your reach as you take each step keeping moving the bar further and further along… Life is a long road… a challenging journey full of adventures and explorations… We must expect to be successful, we must expect to be happy, we must expect to find love and friendship in all that we do… At the same time we must balance that we reason and rational thought so that when the outcome is less then our expectation we respond to that and make the necessary corrections to move once more in a more positive direction…
Expect to see smile and you will… Expect to feel the joy of laugher upon your ears and you will… If you expect to experience humor on a daily basis you will… Your expectations for today will be filled… it is in what you are searching for… It is what we are programmed to look for… in is our destiny and our fate handed down to us by our parents and teachers… It is the definition of who we are… and yet we all wish to be more then our expectations… Time to step out of the expectations others had for us and to wear the expectations we wish to wear about us… In that way we fulfill our own destiny…
I expect to have fun today… to smile… to write… to enjoy the time I will spend with my children… while we trip the delights fantastic a bit… talking about life… about what challenges them… I am amused by the thought that life is difficult or hard… Life is what we make of it… If we choose to expect the journey to be a difficult one it will be… If we choose other wise then that dream will be created… Thought itself is a force… a very powerful force… A very creative force…
Interludes…
Spaces in between times… A skip or a stop for a moment to listen, to get back ones legs… By nature interludes are brief and fleeting moments full of smiles and laughter… to be free and for that split second you are… as free as a bird… as free as the air that we breathe in and out of our lungs each day… each night… each breathe is a signal to live… to find another interlude to skip towards… A journey to the other side another place to play… a stoppage of what we are doing so that for a brief time we may do some thing totally different to give us some perspective… a twist in time… an image we wood knot under normal condition render as being real… a wondrous place in time…
Lost a bit…
I am lost… a little out of my area of playing and adrift for a time… I feel I am searching for words to write while I also sense the need to keep on writing more and more… The desire fills me with a drive to get on with it… Almost a compulsion to follow the words back wards inside me to the place they are formed… to locate this treasure chest of magic and open it up fully… Time has stopped… He is standing still with me and waiting… I have a brief time to make up my mind… Interesting degrees of perspective… I am lost for a bit of time in a reality of my own making… It is tiring to sit here and wait for the opportunity… I am falling away wanting desperately to sleep perchance to dream… a little more of her… I am lost in the waves that float over me… on their way to some distant shore… a possibility that I can ride along… I fall behind instantly… repeatedly without effort… It is a losing battle… The water slips past on its magical journey from here to there to nowhere special… I lost a bit of me in there… A bit of my sarcasm… a bit of my humor… a bit of my compassion as well…
I am so very tired of it… of being lost in a sense… I do like the adventure the exploration parts… the fatigue is what I dislike the constant feeling of sleep about to close my eyes and leave me unconscious and in the hands of the spirits of fate and destiny… I am tired of the wait in between words yet I am fully aware of the trials of the others as they move toward their dreams… each of us taking our turns at the wheel… each of us gaining one foot hold and then waiting for the next opportunity that we all can move forward on… It is all of us or none of us and we all know it… the process drags us down deeper and deeper and while we focus we are left unguarded and can fall prey to the darker elements within us… A test of sorts so we may find ourselves amid the rubble of who we used to be… Lost is a good place for in being lost we get to be anybody we wish to be while we search for the somebody we are… Lost I am for I sense the day slipping between my fingers… I am lost in the sun shine… the cool breeze and the prospects for what this evening and night will bring… I can be lost and found at one time in alternative ways… In a moment we shall descend into the realm of the reality of today and do the things necessary to put this one behind us now and move on into the future… I think I lost a bit of my mind… of well never mind…
