Now on to my disjointed ramblings. I have dreams. I have aspirations. I am definitely not giving them the attention they deserve, nor the respect. I am, however, very protective of and defensive about my dreams. It's one thing to neglect them myself, quite another to allow them to be dismissed. The act is reciprocal. Dreams require buoyancy; spiritual and emotional loft. Just as with the physics of creativity, they need momentum. I know this isn't an advice column, but my advice; clothe yourself in your dreams and revel in the dreams of others. Encourage one another whenever possible, but most of all, encourage yourself.
At my stage in life, I can say with much certainty, I was put on this Earth to write. I was put here to write first and foremost about Halteres. Of course it's a shambles, of course it's rough, but I've forced a lot of pieces together...and their hold is strong.
That brings me to the FATAL 4-DEs (as I term them). Behaviors that are messing with my dreamscape!
DE-NIAL- A dream denied is a dream deferred...forever (I know, I know). (damn, it should have been 5-DEs...in a couple years it will be) I can't tell you how many times I've put off till tomorrow what I should have done today. (seriously, it's been decades of tomorrows for me)
DE-FLECTION- The big brush off. You gotta a grab hold of your dreams and ride them to the nether regions of the future. Like a cow-catcher through a sea of distractions you must be.
DE-CEIT- There's no need for it. There's no use for it. Being open and honest in every aspect of your life is a quality I hold above all else.
DE-LUSION- Let's be realistic. Reality sucks. Reality kicks me in the yarbles on the daily. Dreams must be balanced with practicality.
So come dream with me. Halteres needs true believers! New, new, new, NEW chapter 1 coming soon. All part of the process, baby. All part of the process.
Anyway, until next time, don't bother me. I'm dreaming about a book.
There's a lot more D's and one in paticulair I would like to add but might not be appropriate. Therefore I will just add Demolished.
ReplyDeleteI have other reasons for sticking with four, but it might not matter which four. :)
