Some magical thoughts on the nature of our world and the human experience and oh to heck with it, just whatever I feel like writing about :)

Flying...i did and you can too ;-)

Don't worry guys, I want to write something really positive to counter that last post. So I'm gonna jump right into it. If you have something really important or powerful that you're dealing with or that's bothering you, it is WAAAY better to get it out of your system...in some way (nonviolent preferred!...unless you're hitting a blow up doll of good ole George W...and for all the Republicans out there, just substitute a different name, i understand we all have our differences). Talking to someone is ideal, but only when you're ready. Sometimes, it might indeed be better not to deal with something until a time comes when you feel you can handle it. Other times, it is better to deal with it right away...only you can make that decision, don't let others make it for you.

Friends, family, mentors, dogs, cats (eh, ok, maybe not ;) anyone can be a good listener and a good listener is sooooo important. We were not made to deal with life alone. And ok, enough with this deep stuff, I wanna talk about dreams. Good dreams! I had a dream the other day where I was actually flying. I was running down the streets of my neighborhood and sometimes I would jump in the air...and I would take flight. So naturally, it seemed completely real, I could fly like Superman (er, woman) and do circles and go so fast it felt effortless. And I felt like part of a neighborhood patrol, as there were others who were flying too, keeping watch and helping everyone be safe. But the best part was that I truly flew, effortlessly, throwing myself into the air and soaring like it was what I was made to do. My point here, ladies and gentlemen, and I do have one, is that anything good that happens in your dreams IS your reality. Just as much as anything good that happens in "real life" is something you've accomplished, I will now always be able to say that I have flown, me, alone, with no mechanical help or obstacles. It felt real to me and I experienced it as a real event.

Thus, it is great to embrace your dreams, especially good ones, for all they're worth...and perhaps to realize as well that reality and life itself is what we make of it. What we choose to focus on, to be, to aspire to. I can believe oh, it's just a dream, i didn't really fly, a human can never fly...or I can believe that I did in fact fly and that we are all capable of so much more than what we might deem 'realistic' or 'normal'. I choose to believe the latter.
