Dreams

I just finished watching a short documentary series that Honda is making called Dream the Impossible, and it got me thinking. How do I define dreams? A while back, I started "mapping" my mind out in two different ways, my spiritual mindset consisted of Mountains, valleys, and forests. My physical mindset I described as a vast ocean filled with shallow parts and deep parts. Ever since then, I have been having dreams that consist of these two locations. To me, dreams are the way our sub-conscious looks at the world. Dreams are the realities that are behind our eyes. I know that sounds extremely outlandish, but I'm trying to explain dreams here, what did you expect? Dreams are a way our sub-conscious informs us of our own thoughts. Thoughts that we didn't even know we thunk. That's what I think dreams are.

Have you ever realized?

Have you ever realized how dramatic situations can get? How things build and build and then all fal apart...like the wall of jericho?? well...i've just come to a realization.Why? Why the heck do we go at each others throats all the time? I've been thinking a lot lately how God gives us a new chance each day when we get up in the morning...a chance to be nicer to people...a chance to right all the wrongs that we've handed out to people...or forgive someone that did something terrible to you. And it now dawns on me that when God says he wants us to be like him in all that we do...he means in ALL that we do...so instead of waking up one morning and condeming your best friend for doing something "unforgivable"...try praying for them and forgiving them...be like God...give them a new chance each day to change themselves.

Ancient Vs. Modern

I've been reading Jonathan Swift's book A Tale of Tub and Other Satires and have become quite intrigued. There is one essay he wrote about called The Battle of the Books. He wrote it in a time when ancient learning and modern learning were fighting for power. I got to thinking...wouldn't it be cool if characters from all sorts of famous and infamous books were to come together in one big book? Of course it would take forever to do something like that...for whoever wrote it would have to have permission to use whomever characters he or she would like from other books, plus they would have to gather info about the characters. Something like that sounds awesome...but that's just to much work for me...I'm a poet...and that's what I am.
Then he got to talking about a bee who got stuck in a spider web "mansion". I get the feeling the spider was a symbol for modern learning because everything he said and where he lived was so structured and had facts behind it. The bee symbolized ancient learning because he inspired awe in me and also had wit and cunning about him. You see...I believe ancient books of learning and of tales inspired people to make lives for themselves and helped them to forge imagination into the world. There were much more poets and scholars in the old days than there are now...I believe that is because no one writes stories as vividly as people did in the past...nor do we weave stories of great intensity either.In my school all the girls are reading stories about guys and stupid prep cliques and the guys are reading about sports...that's it. There's no more imagination...no more creativity. I feel sorry for the next generation of readers for the talented writers of their generation will be few. But that's understandable...I mean we're very close to the destruction of ancient talents anyway. If there was just some way to put modern and ancient techniques of writing together where they would cooperate with each other...

Some weird stuff...

This is basically a page where I am going to put my random thoughts down. If you have no interest in reading my thoughts and delving into the mind of me...then don't. Thanks!
(i needed somewhere to put my thoughts...and I didn't want to waist paper on my thoughts...so why not use the internet??)
