A Trip to Nowhere

I stand beneath the tree tops, the rain trickling down, cracking as it hits the leaves. My hair is matted across my
face, eyes closed, facing up toward the sky so that the mist covers me. It feels so good. It's been raining gently
the last few days. I have made my way outside for this same effect every chance I have had. It is cleansing,
relaxing, the rain, the calming breeze, the sway of the tree branches, the almost, but not completely silent, sound of people walking by. There's a peace in it all. Whether you wish to see it or not is up to you. I envision many things, most people do not see them, which is why they are visions, not reality. Often, there are things I dream of that I wish others could see, which is why I write. I write...so that others can see the visions of my mind. Is that so strange? I have this idea, this beautiful idea that fills my mind to the point where it can no longer be contained within the simple boundaries of my thoughts. I must put the pen to the paper, much like a brush to canvas to paint, and push it out, covering my "canvas" with words. Words that describe the finest details I can see, the worlds as I feel it, breath it, endor it. There are many things that I have put myself through in life that have given me a unique perspective. I say unique because I find less people that see things as I do than I do that agree.

I do find plenty that are open minded enough to at least be able to see my point. This has nothing to do with
writing, but more to do with life. I ramble a lot, I have noticed. Just think, though, there is no room for judgement onto others in our life, it's too simple, too free to place the ropes of own restrictions onto them. Who am I to say you can or cannot be the way you are. Unless... of course, I am causing some sort of true conflict that endangers your well being, or you to mine. Then there is a problem. Does not everyone have the same right to live, without cause of danger, whether physical or mental? If only the world were that way. If only. But, it's not. This is reality. A shame, in many cases, I wish that people would remove their glasses and allow people to be free. Truly free, where it does not matter what your ethnic background is, what your prefered sexual taste may be, what color you bleed or any other ridiculous reason people come up with to hate someone. Remove the ignorance from your mind, understand others as they should understand you, feel the freedom overtake your soul, bless yourself with knowledge, equality. Take a moment, breathe, consider the possibilities the truth may bring. A truth so pure that it cannot be denied. Does it exist? I have no idea. I'd like to think so, but then again, I am full of ideas, most, no one understands. I have come to accept this. Sometimes, I try to explain my thoughts to others, my philosphy, but it seems that though it is so simple in my mind, the concept is extremly difficult to grasp. I believe it comes from the social standards in which we have been raised, however. If you were given a chance to face your fears, to defeat them all, one by one, one step at a time, would you take it? You can. It's you that holds that power. It's you that can push through those limitations that you unknowingly have placed upon yourself. It is you that must make the choice to defeat your own demons. One step at a time. What a thought, wouldn't you say? I would.. and I just did.

What do you think?
