He did warn me that this particular jumble of words had been bouncing around in his head for a few days but after his "time" with Me today... they seemed to be taking form and making sense. I'm going to print it here and see what everyone else thinks about it. I think I have a pretty good take on it.. he has a way of taking a long circle around how he thinks he acheives freedom. youngbloods freedom seems to be what people in the nilla world consider slavery.... all a matter of where the thoughts start.. hmm?
a case of chicken and the egg maybe...
youngblood's offering to Me follows:
what a wonderful choice to choose Our wonderful Antonio to illustrate a point.. YUMMY!
It's a rather warm pitch black night, not very unlike last night but they are
very different compared to summer nights just two weeks ago. Have you ever
seen "The Thirteenth Warrior" with Antonio Banderas? It's not a great movie
but it has it's charm, a Muslim poet joining a party of Norse warriors
traveling against an ancient evil in the cold north. Banderas, playing the
poet, has a comment in that movie about this land. It is recited with great
longing for his homeland and a bit in wonder over the land he's currently in.
Saying "The evenings lasts so long up here.." Which was so true just weeks
ago but now the year has turned again, towards colder and darker times, and
so has my mind. It is a very unforgiving land indeed, empty, cold, dark but
oh so beautiful. Sometimes I'd like to flatter myself with that saying that
this land is much like my mind, hah. But indeed this land afflicts ones mind
in a very odd way, savage, free, cold, unrelenting yet so marvelous.
A few find their freedom up here.. But then what is freedom really? Freedom
to do whatever one wish? Freedom of speech? Freedom do be able to let go of
all worries? Freedom to give yourself completely to another person, to rule
you as She/He see fit? Does freedom come in degrees? Is freedom perhaps
simply peace of mind? Does freedom actually exist at all? Or is it nothing
and everything of the above mentioned? The conclusion I've come to lately is
that there is no absolute freedom, there is only life and freedom within
life. And whether we all sooner or later find life, that I don't know..
Why do I talk so vaguely about something I cannot explain? Cause tonight I
think I felt abit of it, freedom that is. It was very weird, I almost felt
sick for a moment. Every feeling and every sense was for a while heightened
and extended beyond the normal me, close to tears, my mind at complete peace
still my body at full pace.. All I know right now after the experience is
that it's worth searching for.
So peace be with you all, and may you all find freedom..
