Ponderings

Busy Mind. These are my thoughts:

Life has been dark lately, and I am not sure how to get back to where I once was. Slowly the beauty of life has been slipping away from me. I am working on it though, seeing my friends and making a list of all good things has been helping.

I've always read poetry but I want to start reading more. There is something so simple and beautiful about it. This is one of my favorite poems:

A Dream Within A Dream. By Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus
much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a
dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a
vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or
seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a
surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden
sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a
tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is
all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Also, it's time to dig deeper into religion. Understand it better and practice more.

When I look up at the stars and the moon I feel so small and insignificant that it scares me. However, I am overwhelmed by their beauty.

I am trying to escape my cell phone, but it's not working...too many calls.

I want to try something new, something crazy like kite boarding, or paragliding but maybe I should become better at the ten million other hobbies I have. Life is just too short and I want to try it all.
