Mental Block

Solitude and lonlieness are two separate things.  Solitdude means that you have found purpose in your alone time (exempting those in confinement).  Lonlieness is mental anxiety.  Being alone with yourself...fears and all.  Being alone forces you to take a look at your life from the outside in, and the affect is greater if you are beyond your elements. 

Here I am, nearing the age of 31, always looking for adventure, and yet have no patience for when and where.  Spontaneous decisions that most people take years to plan, but I think of in one month and hastly execute 2 or 3 months later.  Chasing sunsets across cities, ridges and valleys.  Sleeping in a vehicle with no room to put the seat down, and have swollen feet that can't fit inside shoes.  No place to officially call home, and once I do....there isn't anywhere to put my belongings, because I discarded and left everything else as if the state of Maryland was under attack.       

As usual, my saving grace is how I'm able to disassociate myself from the situation, and notice the large green trees that cover the land, and the vast water ways that somehow connect to one another, and the magnificent sight of eagles that I'm constantly amazed with (so far it's just been one sighting).  Everyday is definitely a new day, and each moment is anticipated for the next.  It's been two weeks since I came to sasquatch land, and I'm already thinking of my next destination. 

Now that I have finally graduated to acknowledge my solitude, I don't have to spaz out about being alone, and can make conscious decisions.  Just this morning, before I took a shower, I noticed the slight mustache above my upper lip.  I searched for razors, but was unable to find them.  Then my mind decided to visually remind me of how I threw the last unused razors away.  It was too late to go to a store, so I had no choice but to tweeze!!!  It's a conscious decision because I hadn't noticed my mustache days before, maybe I was to blah to notice or care.  Never again I can assure you!

So, let's reiterate.  I live in a beautiful place with no furniture, cable or internet, and I'm finally at peace.  I'm finally studying the language I want, and the certification I need with no easy distractions.  Also, I sleep more, and have been promptly at work every day with the mind frame to..........hurry up with my certification.  My kids have yet to get here, but I may have plenty of time until then.  I'm finally taking it one day at a time.

Grim Reality

Non discriminatory, non forgiving and encompassing all, is death.  Memento Mori, is the Latin phrase meaning to "Remember your mortality", and can bring a certain perspective to life, and your current frame of mind. As a child, I use to hyperventilate and cry uncontrollably to myself on thoughts of death.  It only worsened when I was taught "The Book of Revelations".  From then on, my idea was to live a reclusive life, and not involve myself with a familial status (and pray to God, I died before the end of the world).  All in hopes to escape the grim reality of death touching loved ones.  Perhaps it was then people became oblivious to me.   Never had I went in search for friends or relationships, but always allowed whatever to happen  non discriminatory.  How is my reclusive life going?  Single divorcee, enjoying her two weeks of freedom. Since my teenage years, I grew a new perspective on death.  When I began ...

Somewhere in the Middle

70 years ago, President Roosevelt delivered his " Day of Infamy " speech, following the attack of Pearl Harbor.  70 years today, you can still visually see the sunken USS Arizona, with the same oil floating in the water, still capturing the bodies of some sailors. About 8 hours west of the Pearl Harbor monument, you will find the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots,  in Japan, and in between you can see the destruction of war.   66 years later you can still see the effects of the atom bombs dropped over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where about 200,000 people died as a the result of the attack. Prior to the atom bombs, about 200,000 people were killed in the Battle of Okinawa , and about 20,000 died in the Battle of Guam . Caught in the middle, and always in between are people that have no voice in neither decisions, nor the outcome.  Just like civilians caught in between war and civil battles; daily,  weekly,  or monthly,  you will find children.....

Body of Art

Twelve years ago I dreamed of one of my many deaths.  For the first couple of years I dismissed it.  However, when September 11 occurred, I became scared and distraught.  Later on, I began to investigate my dream, and now I see it as a work of art.  Many forms of art lie all around, but the most interesting ones can be found in a dream of death that begins with the moment of suspense, through the will power of life, and the masterpiece end of defeat. My canvas begins with myself and others lying asleep around a tan colored truck in a desert atmosphere.  I had long hair, and was dressed in a brown t-shirt and light brown camouflage pants, and suede untied boots.  Suddenly I'm running.  I'm running through the desert, houses, backyards, clothes-lines, climbing fences, and continue to run through more desert.  Before long, I was at an empty tavern.  It was cool and clean, and everything made of mud-brick.  I go out the back door and see m...
