YOU'RE IN IT

I am in it, right in the middle of it. The world around us keeps going and eventhough our own lives seem to move slower than the rest, we are usually moving right along with them. We become aware of our aging, of the fact that alas we too are getting older based on events, choices or other external things that tend to define us. We tend to think that we are still young if we don't do this or that yet, but yet we keep moving.

Life is for living, we all know that...CM/CP

Everybody knows they're guilty

What interests me is the fact that we all do things that we don't admit, I'm not talking about secret things, but things people do everyday, only few are brave enough to admit it. It is those few who then get respected from the ones that don't. A funny cycle of habits forms where no one admits to being human, we're all aliens who are perfect and without fault. Also I had a dream last night about going to acting class with my girlfriend followed by five tornados...Weird right?

Actually, there's only one instant, and it's right now, and it's eternity. And, it's an instant in which God is posing a question, and that question is basically, "Do you wanna be one with eternity, do you want to be in heaven?" And, we're all saying, "Nooo thank you, not just yet." And so time, is actually just this constant saying "No" to God's invitation. I mean, that's what time is. It's no more 50 A.D. than it's 2001. There's just this one instant, and that's what we're always in. And then she tells me that actually, this is the narrative of everyone's life. Behind the phenomenal difference there is but one story, and that's the story of moving from the "No" to the "Yes." All of life is like, "No thank you, No thank you, No thank you." And then, ultimately, it's, "Yes I give in, Yes I accept, Yes I embrace." I mean, that's the journey. Everyone gets to the "Yes" in the end, right? -from Waking Life.

I was reading something the other day and I got the sense that the writer felt the need to be profound and that feeling along with the wording made all that was written seem insincere or fake to me, kinda sad actually. Anyway this is my first post, after a failed attempt to start a blog a year ago I really felt like writing again etc. I always wondered how personal people get on these things, I've read those that are like personal diaries/journals and then when it's someone you know and you talk to them about a post they're like "how'd ya know that?" well it's out there for all to read. I'm sure there will be "sharing times". I have not been able to take Coldplay's X&Y out of my cd player since it came out over a week ago, songs 4, 11,13 are my current favs.

We grow up in order to give out. It is not enough to keep learning more and more. We must act on what we know and practice what we claim to believe.
