Painting my world in the color of language
but PRESSED for time.
When the circular track I run around in my head collapses, I come home to myself more often and run around less.
But yet cover more d i s t a n c e.
A distance that has nothing to do with space; like love has nothing to do with time.
You're not gonna find It in It's s ym b o l; mistaking the means for the end means the end.
But more writing follows the period. (2012)
Can we rise above these words, or delve below them?
What do we find in the collective unconscious besides the unconscious.
The floodlight of the mind probes away for symbols to allow it to translate the untranslatable - essence.
Sometimes it does a good job.
That's when I truly meet you.

And the WWW connects us exponentially!
No way, you peeps are actually viewing my blog!
I felt like I was throwing a multi-colored grain of sand in the ocean of the internet and saying "fetch"! I was happy to see the steady but small viewing when I initially checked my stats, and then I realised that each time I viewed my own blog it logged me! Well I guess I've always been my own biggest fan, and this is no exception.
Now I see that I've had views from Russia, Asia and North America, and that makes this white African one happy camper. Not for the boost of my ego (cos I'm slave laboring to attain the cardinal virtue of humility at the moment), but because it shows the potential of the information revolution to connect people who would never have traversed even 2 of their 6 degrees of separation.
Last night I was watching a documentary about the dark ages that said Saint Dominic was one of the most educated people in Europe because he owned 250 books. It went on to illuminate the lack of illumination due to little villages being cut off from each other. Would the Bubonic plague have devastated Europe if a Tweet went out saying "Ouch, stay indoors!"
It's just another example of the unprecedented age we live in, in which the sky is the limit when we combine our collective subconscious into the three letters of "www."
I'll be monitoring this blog more often now, and would appreciate you subscribing so that I know that there are people out there expecting me to string more syllables together.
Blessings to the max!
