The Water, The Ocean, and The World

I have a fascination with water, i love to swim, scuba dive, in general i just love the water. Water to me is complex it's: peaceful, calm, powerful, angry, and unforgiving. The water gives the world life and is the biggest natural force to take it also. The peace and calm we get by laying at the beach, and in turn sheer terror it brings when unleashed.

These are some of the human like qualities that made me want to look more into water and find out what is it? I went to the docks and looked at the water but could not see into it because of the choppiness and the waves created by the boats, so i dove into the water and i saw a beautiful world that i am not a part of. So i went places that had been damaged by the water, but all i saw was my world torn apart by a destructive force. I realized that i was trying to understand a forest by studying different parts of its various trees, and what i needed to do was take and step back and look and the big picture. So i took a stroll out into space and i saw the oceans for what they were and powerful almost living force that shaped the world it was a part of, but the i noticed that this powerful force didn't have a will of its own it is being played upon by the moon and larger forces.

The next time we think we have all the answers, it might help to take a step back. When we live to close to the water we don't see it for what it really is. The lesson i have learned is that i need to look and the water, the ocean, and the world. Next time you turn on a sink just watch the water drip, in that size the water can't really hurt you but when you get a lot of those drops together..........lets just say it only takes one to start the waterfall. When people gather in purpose there is nothing we can't do when we set our minds to it.

Word puzzles and Spider Games

The words we choose picks the puzzle we play, the better the phrase more complex the game.

Did i mean what i said or was there an underlying thread.

If you try the threads out for size will it cut through the smoke and mirrors or are they lies?

If Lies do lay then where do they stay.....up in our head spinning away, a web do they weave and decieve.

Are we the spider or merely the fly caught in the web of these wicked lies.

Time will tell where this game goes but for now its down the rabbit hole because nobody knows.

The old man sits on the mountain so wise but no one visits so does he waste his time, and has he lost his mind up there all alone thinking he has the light.

Light will lead down that dark dark hole where wonderland is though nobody knows.

The ones that do are old and wise and sit on mountains that touch the sky, there with the sky they lose their minds and can no longer tell us the answer to life.

So live each day as if it was the last for once you find wonderland theres no coming back.

When a god dies

Up in the clouds the king sits with no one around. His eyes roam to a fro walking the earth day and night yet with all his might he does not fathom the joy and happiness of these ants in his sight. Their life is short just days in his sight, but still they dream, love, fight, and die. Searching for a reason he left his throne. He walked among them and saw them as man; they walked upright, used reason and logic as he did. He came to a village a little girl cried I am so hungry, my father has died. The great king fed this family of three, but still they knew not the god-king he be. When they had ate the girl gave him a hug, the mother cried and bid him good-bye with love. This love was a thing he had never felt before, now he understood why they carried out their wars. The passion and pride that burns inside: a reason to believe, to fight, and to die. The deity returned high to his throne, having felt wanted he now felt alone; immortality looms large, it is to much to bear he needed a reason to live for, a purpose to care. The vastness of forever ahead no one to love nothing to live for the god-king dies. From his death there is a lesson to learn from his life, it is not how long you live but what you live for. Until you have something worth dying for you’re not really living

Immortals fallen to mortality

Do you ever feel as though in the current course of your life that you have somehow fallen from immortality as is were. Looking around realizing that the place you are in life is so far from where you ever wanted to be. Always reaching for that goal you have set only to almost reach it and have it taken from you. No matter what you do it never seems to be enough to stem the in coming tide of seemingly malice intentions meant to slow you down. It's like the feeling a spider must have building a beautiful web that is not only something to show for its existance but also a source of food and shelter, only to have a small child come along and without thinking destroy everything that it has built; just because its fun. I wish that small child would stop having fun at the cost of my life. It's a sinking feeling knowing that someone close to you thinks and sees your life as a failure. Sometimes the thoughts rise to why should i try or care anymore. I guess the only thing you can do is keep pushing and climb back to immortality.

Sleepless

I lay awake tonight, like a child on Christmas Eve with the thoughts of the next day, in awe of what could be. The thought comes in and takes control plants an image and it won't let go, when this happens I want to know does it happen to you, connected…… sleepless in our separate places as we share the night. My mind fails to understand what my heart tells me is this why I pace sleepless through the planes of my mind inventing a reality that has not taken place. There is no gift waiting for me tonight so why does my mind rob me of sleep tonight. When you put words on paper you control the thought and own the tone; they serve to do your bidding, to make your puzzle and play in the maze that you make. I am unable to put in writing my thoughts they will not come out or surrender their stronghold. They hold me captive in their maze running around like a hamster in a cage.

I think is strange how meeting someone can do all this to you, the feelings and wonder. I can never see the forest from the trees when it is my own interest, but for some reason if I were given the same set of facts to go on and it was someone else's I would see the situation with perfect vision. Words seem to be the only thing that you can control in life and then they leave you feeling powerless and rather speechless.

This Moment

The concept of living in the moment that we are in, carpe diem and all of that has always interested me. The fact that it is in this moment in which we will define ourselves and it is this moment in which we live. Why is this moment so important? i believe it is because of what we do now that will be what we are remembered for. The stars and the sand provide great lessons of this concept.
I found myself looking up at the stars the other night, think of how they look like little pinholes in a piece of paper allowing light in from another world. I started to think of the stars are thousands of light years away and in all the time that it took for that light to travel here the star could have died and burned out hundreds of years ago but yet we can still look to the sky and see the wonder and awe of what it use to be.
When i was in Japan i use to spend a lot of time on the beach; i love the beach,
the water, and the way that it opens up a whole new world where the rules of the land don’t apply. The thing that i noticed though is that the ocean and the beach are in a constant state of flux. You can walk down the beach and look behind you for the trail you left in the sand and before you get to far the foot prints that you left will be washed away.
The simple fact remains that when we are gone, we are gone but what will we leave behind? Will people be able to see the light of what we were long after we are gone or will we soon be forgotten as the tide of life sweeps across what we have done. Life is a journey of choices that we have to make some of those choices will impact the generations to come while others will soon be forgotten. When the moment in your life that will define you comes, dare to live large and on the edge history and life doesn’t remember those that played it safe, but rather those that laid it all on the line of the sake of that moment.These two things made me think about life and what i want to be a star or the beach.

Embrace A View That Is Not Your Own

Where did the days of people holding their own view points go; people standing firm on the values that they held and not compromising. It seems that there is now a middle of the road party line going on, and God forbid that you disagree with anybody. In America we drive on the right side of the road and in Japan they drive on the left side, no matter which country that you are in if you try to drive in the middle, you’re wrong and are going to get hit from both sides.

The mere idea of thinking that your view point is the only one that is correct is highly criticized. This is hypocritical for thinking that I’m wrong for holding onto my beliefs that you are wrong. Why do we have to give equal merit to the opposing view? I really don’t think that the Jews needed to try and place themselves in the Nazi’s shoes and deem the merit of the action being taken against them. The worst of all these ideals is the “why can’t we all just hug and get along view”; we should not try and find middle ground because the truth will never be on the middle ground. The middle ground is the arena for compromise and negotiation; only the weak negotiate. The United States Military DID NOT try to negotiate or find middle ground with Iraq before they sent them back to the stone-age….twice. Imagine yourself driving a very fast car such as a Porsche 911 along the highway and some kid in their cheap car pull up next to you, telling you that your car isn’t fast; the truth of the situation is that you don’t need to prove anything to that kid, because you both know that your car is fast and there is no reason to give any merit to the speed of his car. The idea of giving equal merit to a lesser power or someone who is in the wrong is illogical, there is no fair play in life and we should stop trying to make it that way. All men were not created equal.

I think murder is an acceptable way of dealing with problems and inconveniences in life; now based on this illogical view: I have been working very hard at my job for a few years now putting up with a lot of headaches that my boss and his little minions like to hand out to me and I never get recognized for all the hard work that I put in. Life would be a whole lot easier if he was not being the pain that he is so I think I’m going to kill him to fix the problems and take the credit for the work that I have done. Now of course this situation is nonsense because there is a right and a wrong in this situation; the morals and laws of our country say that murder is wrong, I can hold any point of view that I want on the situation, this doesn’t take away from the fact that there is a right and wrong on the issue. People need to grow a backbone and pick a side. I don’t care if you agree with my point of view because I believe that I’m right and if you disagree with me, then you’re wrong, moreover I would be thrilled if you got completely upset and offended by this because then at least you would be thinking about things picking sides, and in the act of thinking that I’m wrong you just did what I did in choosing a side.

Why would anyone really kill another human life just because it is inconvenient at the present time? Then again we could always put rules on killing people so that we could make it legal and live with ourselves. This is where we find ourselves coming back to look at that middle ground, and we say that killing someone could be wrong if you feel that it is, but if you need to do it that’s alright too? No; there are lines in the proverbial sand and we stand on one side or the other, then again we could always sugar coat our issue at hand and call it pro-choice. Everyone likes choices I mean we are Americans and if we don’t have at least ten different choices of bread in the supermarket well we just don’t shop there.

Truth and the correct answers to a situation should be what is being sought, not patting everyone on the back and telling them that their stance and view points on whatever is being talked about is just as correct as everyone else’s. There is right and wrong, the feelings surrounding a situation or issue doesn’t change that fact of something being right or wrong. The great thing about truth too is the fact that it is true and it will always be true, it is a constant, a reference point by which we guide our lives. People try to say that everyone has their own truth, and the situation is made worse by the freedoms that we are given. That fact that a person has the freedom of speech does not mean that they are correct in what they are saying or for that matter that they should be saying the things that they are; however this is the price that is paid for the great freedoms that we have and hold dear. It is far better to have too much freedom and be able to abuse than not have enough.
