a new view

have you ever seen things in a different light? things that one would consider ordinary or mundane. words, pictures, people, or simple actions that one would normally think of as the usual. maybe that is what i am looking for. not just something new and senseless, but something that transcends all rationale. maybe it is not so much something such as an act.

or maybe this is just me rambling again...not much of yall read anyways...so why can it not be something more for me to jabber on about.

got to thinkin at the rocky mountain national park the other day. i was more in search of a destination, a place to camp, a lake to see, a mountain to traverse, rather than enjoying the beautiful country that surrounded me. it was more of going to the destination rather than the journey itself. not sayin that is a bad thing, looking for the destination, the end, but i missed the majority of the travel for a few minutes at the destination.

now dont mis-interpret me, i think that being a goal orientated person, or a person along for the journey is not a bad thing. but for me, can i not be both...have i been one for so long that it is hard to think of what it is like to be the other? has it been a masquerade?

enough of this tirade...just be and enjoy. live with conviction and yet be compassionate. smile and mean it. love and enjoy it. sulk and be comforted. be faced with your fear and become victorious. sit still and silent and yet communicate deeply.

fire, peace, passion
