Burning. Burning so bright. Burning so dark. Burning all too familiar? Staring into a flame, long enough is sure to damage something. Even if just inside. Still, you can't help but feel closer to something. In time, there will be a face. There will be something familiar. As if you were just looking into the clouds and seeing something you thought you know was there. All it takes is an imagination and the ability to be influenced that something is just what you understand it to be. When that cloud takes form of a chair. That cloud is a cloud. Not a chair. How silly. But it is only a cloud for as long as you let it be a cloud. In long time you will find you can actually sit in that very chair. You've never really left that ground and never actually sat anywhere. It's simply a cloud.
If you were given the chance to be anything, what would you chose to be? Physically. Characteristically. Will you wish, imagine or allow yourself to believe? Will you take the effort to learn to become one with your environment? There is so much to learn from the fox who hides under the brush. To become one with the nature around just so the fox can live. To use the tools of life at it's disposal and be the very fox that it chose to be. There is always more than one tactic to life. Even for an animal of so little choices, deprived to live a life based on pure philosophy of the survival of the fittest. There is always at least 2 answers to any question. Just because we may not like one of the answers, it does not mean that it does not exist. Even to simply deny to answer a question is an answer for at least yourself to that very question. It is your option you have the choice to make. Of course you have to be willing and able to live with the repercussions of any choices you may make. If you can that is.
To adapt, or simply blend. To live life to believe or, believe to live. So many questions that sound all too similar have such very different meanings. Every little thing we do to the very amount of breaths we take in a moment to the complexities of an artistic design. All these things are answers to a question that can be asked of who you are and how you chose to live your life. Are you living life the way you want to, or do you simply live and not consider some aspects.Perhaps they are just not important or significant enough to feel the need to ask such questions. Then again, that is just a choice you chose to make. Sadly, asking all of these questions does not usually show. You can ask all the questions you can possible come up with and make changes according to the answers you find best and still be just as well off as those you may now find ignorant to many of life's lessons.
Sometimes.. wisdom is just a luxury. How sad it is to see many efforts fade into the rest of the colors of life just as everyone is supposed to fit. Unordinary is the new ordinary, then there is nothing more to call extraordinary. Sub-, super, or just colors of no significant value. Never mind black and white being simply shades of gray. That is to say black and white are words we just came up with to personify extremes of one simple color or shade. Then again, perhaps that is all black and white truly are. Or is there symbolism behind those 2. Meaning that gives those- black and white, value. When you give them value, they no longer become simply a shade, but a color of their own. Then again, I suppose it is left up to perspective. What a joke.
Despite how it is. Look into it. Don't. It is sure to be there if you ever chose to. Just because we don't apply all of our options, doesn't mean that they fade out of the range of possibility. So you can always ask the question of when. That is.. if you want. In the end, all that you are is all that you do.
