I keep waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I’m on my way.
When I think it’s time to leave it all behind,
I try to find a way to, but there’s nothing I can say

And I’m sick to death of trying”

Humans learn experientially. There are moments of enlightenment, eureka where information takes the role of experience. When we learn informationally, we receive a tool. When we learn experientially, we become the tool.
Dimension is about distinction. Point X is a different from Point Y because it is several feet away. We move in time and space, but also understanding. Understanding is a different dimension because it differentiates realities that may overlap in the first four dimensions.

It feels like all the veins and arteries in my body have become these strands of energy reaching out to Jess. I want to be with her RIGHT NOW. Just to sit and talk to her. I know now that I will be closer to being healed when I know I’m doing this for me and not for her. I need to get to a point where I stop thinking about her every day.

I know time is supposed to heal all wounds and I certainly must have gotten over other women in my life, but only time will tell if this terrible ache is justified.
It transpires like this: My wife, Cathy, whom I have been married to for x number of years (x = heart memory, buried memory, misty and unaccounted for. The lost time blows over the plain of my inner world, leaving shadows like gaping mouths rolling ever closer.) decides that enough’s enough.

About two years ago I lost the ability to fly. Not like Superman, nothing so impressive. Just a loose kind of upright hovering, as though my heart were suspended from a cloud passing high overhead. The onsets came unannounced: Electricity warmed my spine and I simply inhaled, drifting upward, dangling until I could push off a nearby wall or streetlight.

You don’t need to read my review to know that this was a phenomenal film. So let me just give you my thoughts on it. Continue reading →
Here is your homework assignment. You don’t need to do it all at once. Perhaps just read the questions and think about them and discuss them at a later date. Continue reading →
Maybe if you rub those tickets together, you’ll excite the numbers. But listen to me, friend, you don’t ever want to let them rub off on you. Don’t even look at them too much or you might get Marked. You think you’re gambling now, but you don’t know the half of it. Before the numbers catch up with you, I better tell you about Dave. Continue reading →
