A journey through endless time,
like a country road that winds and winds...
For a moment nothing can be seen,
but the road you travel and not your dreams...
Then like a beautiful moment captured and saved,
the road stretchs out and you can find your way...
Each day gives a new begining; a hope to move forward,
the journey seems worth taking, to gain something more....
Keep the good and let go of the bad, for in the end,
it will keep you happy and hide the sad...

chasing names... Sunday June 20, 2010
Well, I'm obviously not destined to become a genius... I have failed to keep a daily journal. :(
My time and days seem to pass so quickly; like I'm in an ocean of water and lost...I keep coming up for air and catching glimpses of what my life might be; moments here and gone too soon.
They don't even seem to combine and make sense anymore. I grasp at the important things and find myself missing other important things because I get caught up within a whirlpool of activity.
How can I put these things in order??
How can I catch things before they are gone again??
I know I might be in a manic stage but how do I get out andd why??
How can I sleep again at night when there is so much that I can do??
How can I slow down time so it doesn't all slip away before it's too soon?
I have to remember to eat and drink so I have to energy to go on...
why can't my body keep up with my mind??
Now my mind is driving me back to a world I have found escape in...a world of names...
names that to me may never have been spoken or heard...
but now to me they take me to another world...
A family I never thought I could be a part of,
but by gathering their names and putting it all in order...
the more I search the more I find...
there have been others like me; for them the work was endless...
for now it seems that these names go on for an eternity...
I find soltice in these names; reading them; speaking them; thinking of who they might be...
All of these names that keep adding branches to the ever growing family tree.
Freespirit1020~ what will ever set me free???

June 14, 2010
I have recently been given the greatest gift in life I have yet to receive; my family.
Because of life and life's choices I lost out on so much of my family~the ones who raised me~the ones who I can look into their lives and find a resemblence of me. I suppose on some level it's age and I have come to appreciate how much people mean and the importance of family ties (after all it was part of the greater plan of life). To look at these people from generations ago...to connect it's been life changing in it's own way.
Through these journeys I have found that in the late 1800's and early 1900's there was an Author amongst them... so I have pursued collecting his books and reading them to 'connect' with this great person from our past. In the book I'm reading now he speaks of his years in high school and impressionable moments; one of which was in June of 1873 when Dr. John H. Vincent spoke at the school and said "Any man who can keep a diary for two years is a genius." This inspired him to keep a diary of which he later published from.
I don't know that I will ever publish my thoughts or works...but to think that choices made can be influenced by a simple statement is enough to help me believe it is a challenge worth striving for...to become a genius? Maybe not in an educational aspect but to think of the thoughts that could be set free...the order and creative power that could be captured by simply writing....
....and so with many things changing in my life and the 'life' that I tackle or hide from each day....I shall attempt to set a genius free.

A single June 13, 2010
A thousand miles,
A thousand moments,
A thousand ways,
what will prepare.
A single hope,
A single dream,
A single fear,
that will guide me there.
A single amoungst
so many many
yet so completely
alone...
This was a simple poem I wrote this past winter...but it's also a thought that I hold onto and often repost... because it's a simple 'moment' that I was able to capture some of my truest feelings that carry me through life.
