I have done this and I have done that. Should I repeat something I have done in the past? There really is nothing new to try in terms of living daily life, but, I could try living somewhere I have not lived before or I could try some work I have not tried before or I could try .... try what ?? You see my point ??<br /><br />I had settled down once before, in South Dakota, in the place I call Sanctuary/Refuge. It was house on a hilltop from which there was a view for miles in all directions, surrounded by woodlands and wildlife. It went away when I was divorced, but, to be honest, I was not really content there. It simply provided a place to hide out from the world.<br /><br />The problem with having too many choices is that I want to pursue this and that, and it is not possible to do all of them. Time does not permit me to do all of them and, even if it did, my income is not unlimited, and even if it were, I have obligations to others, and, add to that, I am a natural-born Scrooge. (I have plenty of witnesses who will testify to that fact, also.)<br /><br />Now that you mention it, I never have seen a live ballet. I have watched a few on television, but I never have cared for dance in any form and have called it "glorified exercise" in the past. Sorry, if that offends you, but I want to be candid about it. And, I still am capable of learning to appreciate things which have escaped me, and someday hope to see one. Words have always been my medium -- whether prose or poetry or song lyrics, and that is the direction in which I "tend to attend" live performances.<br /><br />Yes, about the film, "Doctor Zhivago," and, as a matter of fact, I actually read the novel. It probably was among the first twenty or twenty-five "adult" books that I read. I was born curious. Seven or eight years after I read it, I was making war against the Soviets. This world, for sure, is a strange place in which to live. I think I will find some of Pasternak's poetry to read now, and pick up where I left off with him.<br /><br />You said, "This day is promising to be very good and interesting." Mine was, Kaya, and part of the reason was because of your comment here. I hope your day was very good and interesting, as well.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-69173487285852562182010-11-28T03:50:12.417+01:002010-11-28T03:50:12.417+01:00In a sense, I always have the thought, "Which...In a sense, I always have the thought, "Which road should I follow?" lurking in the back of my mind with virtually every decision I make, Nanna. That is the basis of my question.<br /><br />I have said in the past (and, undoubtedly, will say again and again in the future), that I believe I had experienced just about everything there is to experience in this life in general terms by the time I was age twenty-five. <br /><br />Beyond that, my life is a constant progression of wanting to walk every road I can follow for a while, hence the nomad mentality. And, when I come to a crossroads, I always am wondering where the road I did not choose would have led me. I guess it is sort of self-imposed mental torture -- the notion of what I might have missed by not going in another direction haunts me.<br /><br />I do feel I have lived other incarnations, but even that still does not solve my dilemma of living several lives within this life.<br /><br />Thank you, Princess of the Zombies, for answering my question. It would be interesting to learn if you feel the same way twenty or thirty years "down the road."Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-52606234819203120542010-11-27T18:40:54.245+01:002010-11-27T18:40:54.245+01:00It's me again.

I like your photograph very much because it's shows a transition between late autumn and the beginning of winter. it's a sad time for me and this photograph reflects exactly how I feel.<br /><br />And a verse in a poem "blow, blow winter wind"... reminded me Boris Pasternak, a Russian poet. Have you ever seen a movie Doctor Zivago based on a book by Boris Pasternak. <br /><br />"It snowed and snowed, the whole world over,<br />Snow swept the world from the end to end.<br />A candle burned on the table; <br />A candle burned......

Am I still dreaming? It's like another detour from what you wrote before. And do you know I love it. This post gave me inspiration.<br /><br />Fram is going to do something different about his life??? Fram, who couldn't imagine living in a big city and felt more secure in a wildness wants to live in St.Paul? I think that is a huge change in thinking and attitude and i like it because once in a while in your life you have to do something opposite of what you used to do and not to be immune to change.<br /><br />And building a house again on a land in South Dakota???? Mr. Nomad who wants to settled down? That is unusual. <br /><br />I always wondered how it felt to be free and ignore the world and have many choices like you had. And suddenly it can also be a problem.<br /><br />And Mr. Indecisive would you please tell me what is good and what isn't so good in this life. What is wrong with to have too much freedom and too many choices? <br /><br />Anyway, you made me think about my life, my choices and my freedom. Great post and very inspiring. Very. Too many questions to ask, too many thoughts to think, to many decisions to make.<br /><br />Your writing is incredible. I am learning not only good English I am learning the way of interesting attitude toward life.<br /><br />Ohhh, and Prolofiev!!!!.... He is my favorite composer. Have you ever seen Romeo and Juliet ballet? It is beautiful and touching. <br /><br />Thank you for these wonderful videos. This day is promising to be very good and interesting.

However... we wouldn't make the same choices as we did our first time around; So we'd purposely stay clear of our inner needs and desires! I don't really know how to word it, but I think that if we had the knowledge about what could go wrong we'd suppress our true selves simply because we wouldn't walk the roads we instinctively wanted to walk.<br /><br />Haha, blame it on my norwegianness... I can't express myself today. BUT I do find the thought scary. I wouldn't want my spirit dulled by experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
