It is each generations birthright to inherit the ideas of those who came before and leave behind the voice of their time. The inheritance is dual in nature. Gifted with thousands of years of innovation and an abundant planet received at little cost we also find ourselves the captives of thought patterns that have outlived our time.

I'm feeling anxious.  a bit worried.  I don't really know how to explain it but something either isn't right or is about to go wrong.  the past couple of days i've been doing the "imagine out all the possible ways life could turn shitty" and thus my mood hasn't been the most positive.  some of these yarns have stretched on for hald the day before ( Read more... )

I had a dream last night that I was walking in the woods and the trail began to climb.  Up and up I walked and when I finally got to the top he was there crouched down on one knee looking out over the valley below.  Just below him was about a 50' drop.  He wore a black hooded cloak and the moon above casted an eerie shadow across his face hiding ( Read more... )

I love living only 45 minutes away from mountains.  There is nothing more soothing yet inspiring.  At first I feared my hiking companions were more interested in the aerobic activity of hiking than enjoying the beauty that surrounded us.  They hit the trails and we're off at a pace that I feared I wouldn't be able to keep for very long.  We seem to ( Read more... )

I've always harbored a secret desire to live a more natural life.  By natural I mean close to nature free of the frenzy to accumilate as many possessions as one possibly can all in a vain attempt to say "I have more than you!"  Does he with the most toys really win?  I think not.  What he wins is a future earth that cannot sustain his greed.

Ok so I had some pretty freaky dreams last night!  
First dream I was riding in a car through the country and Christopher Hall (of stabbing westward but who was playing the part of my brother Christopher in the dream) was driving.  Out the window I notice a field where this huge bison was just laying dead.  It reminded me of how the buffalo fall ( Read more... )

tumbling fumbling fool

to touch the edge of your skin
i fall into the fumbling fool i've outgrown
i have always been a solitary soul
perhaps unstable, but never recognizable
shaking, racing, chest holding breath in
i'm more sustainable...than this
close my eyes
touch you once again to revive 
the tumbling fumbling fool i've grown accustom to

I read this last night and it made my heart swell... "True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"  I'm not sure of the author but I love it.  
I often wonder if anyone can see me perfectly when I don't know if anyone really sees me at all.  
I have perfected the art of invisibility -  ( Read more... )

Thursday night I had a really good dream...
I dreamt I was sitting in the back of a pick up driving along a dusty dirt road with 7 other kids.  Yes I said kids because in the dream I was a year or so out of high school and I know this because in the dream Des was a senior.  So in the back of said pick up truck was me, Des, (the following are people ( Read more... )

Katie and Sheena have arrived!!!  We trekked out to Bangor to collect them and I was so completely ecstatic that I couldn't stop talking the entire trip there!  My poor mom was trapped inside a moving vehicle with this mind running nonstop and the words just spilling out like niagra falls.  HA!  She was subject to the collection of thoughts I've ( Read more... )
