Lost Trains


Hold on to my head for a minute, would you please? It's getting a little too heavy to carry all by myself.



Open your eyes - Learn to really see. An object, a visual representation, a form; Take them and make modifications. Distort images. Break them until memories and connections are made. Find bridges. Observe similarities with aspects of color, composition, light and shadow. Retain texture. Indentations, protrusions, silk and rock.

Move your muscles - Master fluency. Force your body still, move a tendon. Peer at your hands to see them shake before you. Memorize muscles as you shift concentration from one finger to the next. Watch your veins, remember your feet. Recall your movements. Recognize the stillness, feel the pressure. Create waves and make impetuous progressions with the one thing you own.


You know,
I shouldn't be telling you to do anything.
You don't need to do anything.
Don't do anything.
There I go again.

What's more spectacular than a red chair in an open white room?

Autobiography

Do you know me?
Would you like to?



Autobiography in Five Words

I was born eyes open.

Autobiography in Ten Words

I remember self obliteration before I put concepts to words.

Autobiography in Twenty Words

Bursting through the walls of my mother, I found chaos and struggle. My head hit yours and I found peace.

Autobiography in Fifty Words

My hands still retain the same fingerprints I was born with. My bones grew. My hair grew. My mind grew. But these fingers and hands, they settled. Through all the darkness, and all of the light, it is comforting to know that one can find an independent variable in life.



And so it continues.

They're Out There

People that care. People that listen, think, and try.

I adore you. For all that you do. Continue to do these things, and recognize your vastness in this world.

This is the start of something great in my cervices of my mind. The act of placing concepts and ideas into words which are then transferred through my nerves, to my fingertips, and then to the eyes of any willing, and intrigued soul. You're curious, are you not? I have with me only simplicity in the most complex of manners.

People, we have brilliant minds with such expanding capabilities.

Don't be subject to submission of a seemingly greater and unbreakable power.
Cogitate who you take advice from. Whether you listen to me is your choice.

I won’t judge you.


Here is my message to you, reader:

Tell stories. Make games. Hug often. Listen more.
Start believing. Take notes. Practice harder. Breathe deeper.
Stick around. Help people. Cook something. Make Smiles.
Take photographs. Write more. Respect elders. Be spontaneous.
Love yourself. Make love. Look back. Peer forward.
Forget time. Lose yourself. Find another. Hold hands.
Kiss tenderly. Laugh fully. Take vitamins. Make music.
Drink tea. Accept change. Open up. Take walks.
Use floss. Cry freely. Try yoga. Play instruments.
Respect vegans. Go places. Ignore mirrors. Drink water.
Eat ethnically. Cheer louder. Go green. Worship art.


It’s not that hard, really. Try, if you don’t already. The water isn’t really that cold.

This time around, I think I will have better things to say.

Stick with me.
I’ve never been on this rollercoaster before.
