The World and Us We go forth into the world alone and not alone. No person can be truly alone and yet there is always a part of yourself that is really never shared except with the inner soul that is still your driving force. Life, however, has to be shared to be complete, to have someone else feel and care for your existence in this world and to make you important to yourself. But you cannot be important to yourself unless you also share in return and give importance to other people. The inner space, however, is yours alone that contains your bright side and your dark side, your innermost thoughts and what invokes the will to do and to achieve, the force that determines the way you share and love and feel. Your honor and compassion, sentimentality; the reaching out for a distant star is from deep within. Within stirs the dust of ancient fields, smells of forgotten times, a stirring of forgotten and loving memories that arises from time to time to make you stop and ponder on what you feel. Who is to say what threads weave the final tapestry and how long these threads have been and how far do they still have to weave before the final knot? Where did they start and where do they end? How often does a voice, a face, or a touch seem familiar, even though they are unfamiliar to this time and space? The eyes mirror the soul, but sometimes by closing the eyes the smoke of time swirls into half-remembered thoughts and ancient deeds. Close the eyes and smell the sea breeze, or the forest or the dust; What is there to be remembered or best forgotten? What is there was always there and always will be there. Hopefully, what was learned was well learned and contributes to our driving force of this time and plane. If we are anything, we are what we are, but most important we must know what we are and always strive to be better than what we are, with our actions, and our feelings and our responsibilities to ourselves and our kindred people. Blood runs true and colors the tapestry to vivid heights. Who are you? What are you? Everyone in contact with you perceives you in different ways, but only the inner space can really answer that question if you really want the answer for yourself. Too many try to fool themselves as they try to fool the outer world as to their true selves, only to wonder in the dark nights why their peace is not there. The serenity of the inner space should not be violated with falsehoods which can only serve to warp and twist the threads. What is seen is what should be seen, that which comes from within and not a dishonoring of self by the hypocrisy of presenting a false image of our true nature. How can we be respected if we cannot respect ourselves by the presentation of a true image to our contemporaries? |

I am a whisper in the wind, the song of a bird in the trees, a wave upon the ocean. Thank you for sharing this truthful write, Logan. Kacy |
