Dreaming eyes



Today I stand on the shoulders of yesterday and breathe the air of tomorrow.

While breathing out I call to mind what I need to find, create, make my own eh let's call it what is left; truly resisting the urge to bring to mind my plight Alas I will once again be reminded about my place in the palace of status quos and before you enter the palace of status quos you can find the following written on a big grey stone: " Uēnum & Uēnum īre (Dare sell & be sold)" What does that mean? It is up to you to decide! Perhaps as soon as you sell yourself as someone of importance you are sold to those that believe in you? They own you because you must keep being who you claimed to be -according to them Or perhaps Make your dream come true and those that helped make your dream real are your owners(Yes it is funny to watch from afar and perhaps unkind but but anyway). If I do, if I give in to the impulse to bring my plight to mind and compare myself with the perfect One, the animal in me will be my master and I will keep crawling aimlessly with an ingratiating smile, gently and oh so silently asking from the night to kill the day so I can fall asleep and be able to dream again!

Today I stand on the shoulders of yesterday, breathe the air of tomorrow and I hold my breath for a while... take a moment for myself you can do the same

of what was best

This is so powerful and well written. Where is the line between our individual credibility and the things we accept to be because of the projections of others. How high are we willing to stand up to keep ourselves true. Well done.

i'm agreeing with your second notion of Uēnum & Uēnum. i see it as the artist who happily finds an audience for her work, then comes to find herself working to please the audience. it happens to writers all the time.

i also despise the ingratiating smile. it falls into the same category as suffering fools gladly. i do it less than i used to, but it still happens.

i haven't had a pleasant dream in so long i cannot imagine what it must be like, so i wish you happy dreams, and send one my way if you can.

thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
