That is the only way I can think of how describe my emotional state. I was almost brought to tears today in public. It was over something stupid. It was a situation I had been in many times before. One that I had always shrugged off, yet this time. I could feel the tears swell inside of me. I had to escape the situation quickly before they exploded. I was both sad and angry at the same time. How ever not to the point of tears in either case. Billy Pilgrim in the book Slaughter house five would sometimes just start crying. He said that sometimes tears would just start to flow. With no rhyme and reason it would come and then go. I felt a little like that today.
On another note I think I am mostly troubled about how I can best use my time here. I want to help others and am stuck in paradise. In church there was a member of the high counselor that talked about not letting the world get you down. The only thing I seemed to only hear from him was "All is well in Zion." I know that in the end God wins. I know things are going to suck tell Christ comes. I still want to try and fix the problems of this world. I was told as a child "Work as if everything was up to you, and pray like everything is up to God." I would like to think that I still live up to this. I just seem to be at some crazy cross roads. Where the paths are limitless and most of the signs to point the right way. I need to take time and think of which way to go. I hate wasting time pondering over decisions. I mostly want to improve living conditions in other countries. And know not really what educational path I should take.
Next are feelings of dread. For we all have monsters of our past. Things that we have tried to put behind us that we would like to move past. I have caged my monster. It took many years and much loss and heart ache, for me and my family. I lost so much in taming that beast. Now I feel him tearing at its chains. I fear that beast like nothing else. I went thought far too much trouble the first time, which I never wish it out again. I have learned to control almost all aspects of my life and am working hard at taming my emotions. Thanks to God and Gandhi I feel I am making great progress. I know that while that beast my rattle it's cage and break a few chains. It will never escape. For there is but one way out for it and it's thought me. I would now rather die then let it lose.
Well now that I got my spirit up, on to matters of the heart. I would like to think of myself as a lover of life. I can see beauty in almost all things. I try to see things from every point of view and events from as many perspectives as I can. Mostly thanks to my mother and Marsha have I developed this ability. I see how glories my friends are. I can describe anyone of them for hours and what great people they are. However this time it turns to Renae. If you beg to differ let me know, or if you just want to hear about your self that's cool to. People like hearing good things about them selves and I would be more then happy to help you with that. This time however goes to Renae and purely her shell that her ghost moves around this sphere. I know that she has a great personality but this is not about that. Vasu is really what inspired these thoughts. With my camera he stole images of some of god's greatest craftsmanship. Now no offense to Vasu or Sony, but he is not the best photographer and my camera is not the greatest of equipment. And yet with these, sitting in an old navy sweater and jeans she had a sublime beauty. With a sweet smile and quirky looks she filled a few images. And others a quite reverence. If one sees only these they would be sure to want to know more about her. These images however breath taking are still only shadows of the real thing. Her glory is so much more lovely in reality. So take it from me if you want to see eye filling foxiness in motion just look for a girl named Renae.
Well that was fun. Two muses in under a week. Makes one look forward to tomorrow and what wonders it brings. I think I should start a person of the day. Amanda has song of the day (even if sometimes she steals mine). I think I could easily pull out a person of the day. Well let's see who hits me with inspiration tomorrow.
