Drifting
in Neverland & thinking of you ....
It
is nice to see and to feel the burn from the sun on my body. It is not a bad
burn, but enough to see and to feel.
The
day has passed quietly and quickly since I said good night to you. I am not
even sure what I have done other than eat a bit and read a bit and wait for
time to pass.
I
think I have spent my entire life waiting, but for what, I really do not know.
For something? For someone? For eternity?
A
few people have told me they think I am impatient while waiting for death. I am, in the sense
that I am impatient to see what is around the next bend when I am canoeing on a
river or who might be sitting in a restaurant or in a bar when I walk through the
door or what tomorrow might bring when I go to sleep at night. I am curious to
know what there is to know with each step I take.
This translates, I think, into no fear: Nothing to lose; maybe, something to gain.
This translates, I think, into no fear: Nothing to lose; maybe, something to gain.
I
have wondered what it would be like to have been dead for a million years and
to somehow be aware of it. Do you think I will ever know?
It
seems pleasant to me to think of death as a long, long, endless sleep, filled
with endless dreams, and periodic looks out the window to see if the sun has
risen yet.
I
recall I have told you before that sometimes I think I died -- was killed --
when I was in my early twenties, and that the past few decades have been but a dream.
Most of my life has been a dream, I sort of believe, and I wonder what it will be after
I die within this dream.
My
favorite dream within a dream poem I have mentioned before, too. Quote the
Raven .... whoops, I mean quote the Edgar Allan Poe:
"....
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 ...."
This
has happened before. I begin a note to you, and it will end up, sooner or later, as a post
on my blog. I am not sure what to make of this, but, in any case, I hope you
have a pleasant day. I will see you there ....

Hi Frammy, how are you?
Magda
Hello there, Mag.
To begin, I apologize for the delay in responding. I have had weekend company, and have not been near my blog (or any blogs, for that matter) for a few days.
Next, you ask a question impossible for me to answer. I have no idea how I am. All I know is that I am still here, still thinking, still wondering, still waiting, still looking, still asking .... well, you get my drift. I honestly do not know how to answer your question.
Your turn, how are you? Fine, I hope.
Olá caro amigo Fram
Depois de um tempinho ausente estou de volta.
E ai como você esta?
Adorei a postagem...
Uma bela coleção nessa imagem. Uma mistura perfeita.
Gosto das Tulipas, as armas acho perigosa.
Queimadura de sol no corpo??? É muito dolorido, gosto de praia e sol, mas não de queimadura risoss.
Os videos são excelente. Patience é uma música que gosto muito,Guns N 'Roses fez muito sucesso com essa música, ficou na memoria.
Deixo um grande abraço pra ti meu amigo.
Ótima semana!
It is especially enjoyable when you come for a visit, Smareis, because you look for ideas/beliefs/thoughts/meanings within the photographs/illustrations of my posts, within the words I have written and within the songs which accompany the photos and the words. More often than not, these three elements are linked one way or another, and I do not think many people notice that and even fewer understand that. You are one of the few who actually looks inside of me.
As a side note, I will say I love it when I have a sunburn. It makes me feel alive. It makes me feel a bond with the sun and with Nature and with life itself. A sunburn is like a metamorphosis. It is like coming up from deep under the sea and gasping for the first breath of air as you burst to the surface. It lets me know I am vulnerable to it while part of it at the same time.
Finally, "Patience" is a wonderful song. Its message is real and very much true, if we only listen.
Well.Hello there!
What a photo!Love the guns.but not the faded tulips..The books seems interesting and i belive you live in the same place?

Greetings from Norway,Anit
You have said in the past that you have a sense of when I am about to post, Anita. You were right once again, but you arrived an hour early.
I was beginning to think the trolls had kidnapped you, it has been so long since you wandered through here.
Anyway .... I am buying guns like there is no tomorrow. Perhaps, there is not, and, if there is not, I wish to be well-armed when Freyja comes to me and takes me to Folkvangr. That is my hope for the next life, but not really a belief.
Yes, the books are all right. All shown there are entertainment, not literature. The author of one, Vince Flynn, lives a few miles from here. And, yes, here is the same place -- the same house.
There is a young lady I would go to, but she either does not wish that to happen or is not ready for that to happen. Time answers all questions. I once thought I would have three wives; now, I am not so sure.
There will be no vacation per se for me, but I want to travel in the autumn for a few months. Things are settling down for me, and I can sense freedom in the air after two years in figurative chains. Where I will go depends on many factors.
You have a great summer, too, Anita, and thank you, for coming around again.
Sort of an Editor's Note in the form of a comment: The author of, "The Last Man," one of the books on the table in the photograph accompanying this post, died June 19 after a two-year battle with cancer. Vince Flynn was 47, married with three children and the author of 14 action novels. He was a fine story-teller.
