Song Born in Dream - Chart of my Destiny

The winds of habit
Change
The rock we cherished
Deranged
And what we find
And what we do
We knew this 'soul'
Would never, never
make
...Me whole

So here am I

And searching I find
The no where I start
Is not on that chart
...of my desity

You found me here
How nice
You brought me only
your vice!
And what'd you think
Would bring me down?
This man you knew is
already beneath the ground!

So here am I
And searching I find
The no where I start
Is not on that chart
...of my desity

Looking for me?

You could try looking for me in the music or typing away at my keyboard. Perhaps you’d find me wrestling a photon and two of its buddies in first block or maybe you’d catch me with my hand in the cookie jar. Sometimes you’d see me staring up at the night sky asking the I Am “why!?”. If you looked hard enough you could find me in the words of my poems or trapped under a philosophical landslide (Surely you know the feeling when you move that one rock and a million questions tumble out on top of you). However, It’d be best to assume you’d most likely find me simply talking with friends or lost in thought in my room.

Always two, never more

Face it. The world is more black and white than we ever care to believe. Sades of grey are merely specific combinations of black and white. When you get right down to it, the world operates in binary.

Binary, two options, yes and no, on and off, good and evil, whatever you want to throw in its place it's still true. Whenever you are presented with one option in life, there's always the yang, the opposite.

The ability to not.

You have two choices: do something or don't. Deal with a problem or don't. Live or Die. They're always open to you. Of course, depending on your answer to any number of questions presented to you in life there's always the follow up questions. Let's run through an example with our friends Q and A, shall we?

Q: What do you want out of life?

A: That's not the correct first question. "Do you want something out of life?" is the most basic.

Q: Alright.

A: Yes, I want something out of life

Q: Is it rational or irrational?

A: Rational

Q: Then I may assume that it is selfish?

A: Of course

Q: Do you want to get this something inwardly through only yourself or outwardly through all the world has to offer viewed through the portal of self?

A: Through the world

Q: Will you glean what you wish to get out of life from one source?

A: No, I will use many

Q: Do you wish to find it in the body or the mind?

A: I wish to find it in the spirit

And thus color is brought to the world.
