I had a dream last night where I lived in a big house with many bedrooms. Moulder from the X-Files was there asking me these questions about the rooms, and I said I was waiting for someone to come and stay in them but I didn’t know where they were at the moment but I was sure they'd arrive because this wouldn't be home if it wasn't their home too. Then Moulder took me on a train journey that flew over the ocean, and everything became much more surreal after that.
The X-Files reminds me of someone and the past few months I’ve been watching it late at night, just ‘cause it reminds me of them. It must be creeping into my unconscious and knocking things around in there…
My birthday came and went; it was another sunny day and my mum took me for a drive through the countryside where I wandered a little in the fresh air and looked at cows, horses and chickens. I don’t know if there’s a farm sanctuary near me, but if there is it might be kinda neat to go to one and meet the animals.
On the day of my birthday my horoscope arrived in my inbox. I don’t usually read them but seen as it was my birthday I opened it up. It said:
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One of the most demanding and exhilarating
transitions of 2007 is coming. Here are five tips to help you get maximum
enjoyment out of it. (1) Be an early adapter, a quick study, and a resilient
improviser. (2) Hang out in places where things are just beginning. (3)
Intensify your commitment to the lessons that spontaneity can bring. (4)
Be a specialist in uprisings and breakthroughs. (5) Give your generous
attention to influences that are pure, innocent, and buoyant.
At the top of the page it had the quote:
"Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with
blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things
historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build
homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even
whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on
the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for
the river." - Will Durant
Maybe that might be quite a good manifesto for my New Year (I always feel like birthdays are the real New Years), and maybe on the banks you'll see me gardening, making art, dancing, writing poetry and having luscious conversations with interesting people in bedrooms deep into the night.
(Hopefully you'll also see me putting my ideas in motion and being active about that darned bloody river :) I feel like some creative activism might be a good kick start into 2007)
