The following are thoughts and images from my first day of truly being "alone". I spent my entire day wandering, wondering and observing in silence. 3/15/09
==The world seems different.==
The trees surrounding the church are dead and lifeless. They are holding on to old dead leaves. They will not let go. The trees at the school across the street are in full bloom. They smell beautiful. They will soon grow green and full to provide for and with their environment.
I've created a world bigger than my perception or comprehension. The only thing I need to think about is where I am, NOW.
Walking several miles at a time has become increasingly less difficult. Walking has become a natural state of being. Transportation devices are unnecessary as they have lost their meaning.
Clothes have taken on a unique new representation of expressionism. They are humanity's unique attempt to connect with their sense of self and self image. When this is shared with the world, the sense of self is elevated. Sometimes quite falsely.
Face to face interaction with human beings can be terrifying and confusing when in my current state of mind.
==Life is always meant to be the way it is now.==
===>You created it. You MEANT it to be.<===
===>You created it. You MEANT it to be.<===
I saw children fighting. Punching, hitting, slapping, kicking, hitting, tackling, yelling, screaming. Big ones attacked little one to exert dominance. Children are "supposed" to represent innocence, yet here they are, acting violently. Showing evidence of some of the deepest, nastiest tendencies in man kind. Are these actions learned? Are they FORCED by their environment? Why do some children, when faced with violence and adversity retreat to a reclusive state and harbor the acquired feelings within their now decaying host? Why do others lash out and exert these Angy feelings on the world, becoming monsters and patriarchal dictator-esque figures?
The same outside influence causes several very different reactions, depending on the entity being influenced.
Things you've seen in the darkest of movies are going to come true. They will be accepted as common reality. There will be a day the earth goes dark. Morning will follow. Those who survive will peer out into the sunlight with bewildered confusion and absolute knowingness.

i can't really begin to understand the depths of your words or your thoughts. so i won't pretend to. i will just read them and try to. but i can look at your pictures, and see what you see. with that being said, the last one is my utmost favorite. not that these are being presented to be favored. but i just wanted to tell you how beautiful i think it is. i like this sense of discovering you. and i like that you are doing so. some people just live in the world and don't notice things around them. or thoughts in their heads. i am glad you are noticing.
