Back to where I started!

How do thoughts complete one another?


I was just sitting there most of the day reading and attempting to write, struggling actually, since I have mostly been imagining scenarios, disappointing myself for once again, still keeping my hopes up though and calmly striving to come up with the best work I could.

I became so absorbed that I even forgot to attend a dinner with colleagues. Yet, I have this feeling every passing moment that something will happen to shift my thoughts into a realm of flowing dimensions. I imagine myself walking out in the dark, gazing at the skies and stars for some meaning but with no meaning coming back to me. I actually attempt to get into conversation with nothingness. I search for answers up there but I am hundreds of millions of miles away. Yet, their light is the driving force of my existence. Their cycle is humane. They grow up, they change. Every cycle they complete makes them stronger, more solid and complete. Their completion will probably end up in a Big Bang because perfectionism can only be dysfunctional. They are just out there, shinning their light, overflowing their energies to us and affecting our every thought and action and driving us to lunacy, as we are trying to figure out what the hell we are supposed to do.


Who has ever been considered a perfect being? We are flawed in every sense of our existence.
Could that mean I waste my time fantasising a non-existent world?
It’s non-existent all right because we can’t see it yet. We are blind because we have eyes and eyes limit the truth.
Do I lack realism? Am I dreamer of truth? What if fantasy is the first step towards realism?


I have this notion sometimes that when I go to bed, I will have a prophetic or a symbolic dream signalling what I am supposed to do and I don’t mean this in a general sense. I would love to get answers on how to create my work, expand progress and end up with concrete and essential results. Even when dream appears, I can never give an interpretation to it. I know…I am probably being fooled…taken in by faith and beliefs. All we need to do is work more, try harder. But this is a struggle isn’t it? It’s a war of mind, mental direction and focus; an endless fight to achieve things, anything, to end up with something being rightfully yours. If its acknowledgement that we seek, we first need to acknowledge ourselves but then again what if our own acceptance runs through the eyes of others? I see their stares, I feel their criticism…I turn the other way but eyes are still drilling inside of me, and there is no escape from the world while we are still alive.

I often find my mind stuck, blurred and dark, lost in nothingness. I sit staring at the ceiling, the walls, my PC but nothing comes out. It’s like a constant stubbing in the head. And still nothing happens. It’s like the world exists without me. My analytical mind has nothing to analyse. I can talk for hours but I can only write for two minutes. And I have seen and felt it in the ways of communication. There is the passion, the movement of my hands and body, the stretch of my eyes, piercing others thoughts and feelings and with a sudden flare download ideas, advices and words from heavens. But after that, I don’t remember any of these to document.

What do I expect? Some miracle? Someone to hand me the answers on a silver plate? Ok, some are born with intuitive senses, others with extraordinary talents, with psychic abilities, creative orientation and talent, and others with nothing obvious to take advantage of. We all have the capability to unravel hidden mysteries that entangles power and creativity. Who is going to be the one to help us get it out? Search, study, put effort; manage a life that, who could possibly know where it stands. Decide but being unsure of whether you took the right choice or not. It doesn’t have to be right though, but do we have to experience failure as well? How many attempts do we have in this fucking life and how many years does it take for one to see the results of a choice.

Am I looking for a vertex? Actually I am. It’s a potential, an alternating force, a driving change that could give a meaning or maybe not. Life is meaningful enough on its own. I accept the fact that we are here to learn, to mature as souls and help others to do the same, in any way. To be spiritual in a sense that spirituality is found everywhere. I don’t have to be a monk or a priest to be considered as one. Spirituality lies within the way we perceive things, the way we acknowledge truth, the way we see our true identity in connection with all human beings. I could decide to be a farmer and be the happiest person on earth. But it is not within my nature. So, my point is, finding your bliss. But where, how can it be found? By trying?

And yet, I am complaining about things that really have no answers and if there are, one needs to find them on their own. And still, I can’t understand how my thinking works. It’s circling over and over and never stops at a single spot. And here it goes again; I am back where I started.

  1. Existential authenticity, right at the moment of its event-uality. At its best!

  2. first time i read this i think i was a little too drunk to actually read it :). so, now i'm re-reading it (for lack of other posts-ehem) and i'm thinking i agree with every word.

    And here's a thought:
    Sometimes standing still will get you more answers. Sometimes.

  3. i agree. i think that standing still or moving along will get u somewhere, being active or passive is able to produce change but how does ur mind work? can u stand stillness?
    i dont know, i m tired of waiting, but there is a point, there are times, i guess, when its for the best to just stand still. good thought, open for debate!

  4. the best passage i've ever read on waiting is the following -an extract from "Oh, the places you'll go" by Dr. Seuss:

    "You can get so confused
    that you'll start in to race
    down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
    and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
    headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
    The Waiting Place...

    ...for people just waiting.
    Waiting for a train to go
    or a bus to come, or a plane to go
    or the mail to come, or the rain to go
    or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
    or waiting around for a Yes or a No
    or waiting for their hair to grow.
    Everyone is just waiting.

    Waiting for the fish to bite
    or waiting for wind to fly a kite
    or waiting around for Friday night
    or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
    or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
    or a sting of pearls, or a pair of pants
    or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
    Everyone is just waiting."

    Yes, this is so open for debate that in two comments, i've stated both sides of the argument.
    and every time i think, i'm right back where i started...

  5. haa, nice poem,
    ok so he gets confused and starts to race
    but he ends up to Waiting Place,
    unable though, to escape the chase
    of today’s so, unresting pace
    perhaps he’s looking for...a kinder Face,
    but who would offer such, an act of Grace
    to set him free…to Better Place?

    For waiting (patience) can be a virtue
    A question then:
    Would you stand still like a statue
    And leave the truth lie beside you?

    An endless discussion, should we wait or not?
    (ahh bloody poetry) :)
