wonderingz


"It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only."
-William Blake


I had some thoughts last night I wanted to try to sort out.. sometimes writing helps- sometimes hinders. we'll see.

I honestly wonder- do most people feel they are
destine for greatness- or do they feel worthless?
As a whole- our culture seems to be struck with chronic depression- i have long since felt that we are all just
waiting.
Constantly stuck in a mode of anticipation. We figure things will be better.."when"..
when the pay check is bigger.. when the kids are older....when the new baby comes... when the new house is bought...bigger car..
retirement.. the weekend..how ever big or small-
we
wait to be happy.

It is rarely in the breath or breeze.

And truthfully it also seems to rarely be in the grand and anxiously sought.
The things we set up to wait for come and go- and all we do is sub-consciously pick another *thing* to wait for..

and we feel the exact same.

So-
destine for greatness? I am not to sure if that is a universal feeling or what.
but I suspect our concept of greatness if rather flawed and needs some re-tooling.
But I wish more people I love were happy.

really happy-


See blake quote..heh

See, I guess It is all common sense and I know this...it sometimes feels like I have a realization stuck on the edge of my brain- those late hour-acid-epiphanies that you can never really wrap your mind around the next day and alas, there is no q-tip for the brain.

I suppose though that is just another form of waiting hey?
when i figure it all out.. things will be clear?

HA


but than there is you-


My Little Ones-
"You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again."
~
Jean-Jacques Rousseau

See..kids know it all.

Only because I messaged a few people about it last night. I hope to keep in touch with this, but I need it for myself, too. I used to blog on xanga (where I met you!!) and it was great for me. I got my thoughts out, my frustrations. But I ended up with so many people that I liked, but not to spill everything to, so it changed. Yours is beautiful. I love your art and your thoughts. It makes me wish I were creative...

Sucess is a journey, not a destination. I read a book talking about "Someday Isle" and how often we are stuck there! Yes I think most people wait for "someday" to be happy....I try (key word-try) to live no with what I got, sometimes I'm good, sometimes I fail...oh but that's life huh?

you seem to be quite artistic and i'm sure you could do some amazing things with this stuff. and the kids LOVED it!

as for your wonderingz. love it. now you have me thinking as well. i struggle with finding a balance between the temporal and the eternal. longing for the day when all is perfect, yet just trying to live in the moment and enjoy today. let me know when you get it all figured out.

thanks for the comment on my blog!
