An Idea is Powerful

We care more about what the brain is able to do, and less about what the mind is able to do.

I am not limited by words.
My mind can recreate the feeling of being in the actual world. Why is my dream world any less real than my actual world?
My ideas are expressed in images.
Webs crash upon me, in floods of introspection I understand knowledge.
Reflection impresses us.
Towards new ideas, we turn away from normal assumptions.
An idea is powerful; decisions influence how we perceive the world.
The mind influences the neural, somehow.
To write an idea is to care about it.
Care involves sentimental attachment.
Feeling and images.

My mind’s ideas are more than my words, and more than what my brain can do.
Power, expression, ambushed images
Emotions on emotions.
Words on words.
Ideas on ideas.
Impressions.
My dream world.

Let's Just Be in It Together

I am in love with life, happiness, curiosity, spontaneity, expression, awkwardness, discomfort, chaos, laughter, and playfulness.

I flourish in its beginnings and ends, especially when they appear to fall short of bliss.

I am willing to take the risk and set aside my desire for control and power.

I seek out sacred spaces, places where I can enjoy being present with myself and with others.

I do not judge, but only ever try to understand and learn.

I know that it is all so difficult and overwhelming at times. But, I see that there is a greater value to my sadness, my pain, and my inability to maintain control.

I like life with all its imperfections, angularities, and frustrations. Let's jump in the yuck, and just be in it together.
