The Edge of Silence

Thursday November 20, 2008 at 07:59PM

Somewhere out there, somewhere in here, there is a place where the dreamers go when the dreams need to be found, when they have left and Psyche sits like Narcissus gazing in a dark pool in an old place ... on the edge of silence. Where there are no words.

I think Midas probably started it ... but I suppose that that is Golden Age sci-fi! ;)))

This one isn't about making dreams real ... it's about having a dream, a belief in hope, perhaps ... about finding hope when you seem to have lost it.
... 'ware the package in the post, eh? ... it's not ticking is it? :p

Shi*pro replies:
I ought to clarify ... I am a total fish, a piscean, and my reality is coloured by my dreams ... they flow around me like water ... the reality, such as it is, is highly mutable ... my dreams come and go ... not aspirations as such - more like the tone of a musical or artistic piece ... sometimes, when I feel drained, I become dreamless, voiceless ... and reality becomes gray and mechanistic ... that is when it is urgent time to withdraw, reflect and catch the distant spectrum of possibility, follow it and make the dream breathe again. It doesn't translate well into words ... but I try. :)

mad.melon replies:
we have saying in PL: "póki życia, póty nadziei" what means that as long as you're alive there's always hope.
anyway, i just thought that sometimes chasing a dream is not worth the effort: when one is focused on a dream, one can miss ones life...
book is waiting ;) gonna have lazy sunday today and tomorrow will be another busy day :)

Yes, the 'dark night of the soul' or 'creative blues' is a necessary part of this way of being. I just surf the ups and downs these days ... savour both in different ways ...

fear kills soul, don't let your soul be killed by something you can control :) swimming is joy! i (literally!) learned how to swim when i entered a whirlpool. that was scary but funny too :)
