Glimpses into my mind...

......................................................................................................

Glittering, swirling, dancing in the sea, everyone can see but nobody can know. Mine is blue and yours is green. No one truly knows what we really are behind the colors. They hid us from others, I cannot see you, and you cannot see me. This brittle idea of who we are, is it truly us?

......................................................................................................

Can you see me? I can see you. But I am not here. You cannot see me. I am tucked away where you cannot go. I hide you from the face of all. Who am I? Don't you know? I am a singer, a dancer, a musician, a friend. I am a painter, a sculptor, a photographer, a friend. I am an actor, a composer, a writer, a friend.

Do you know who I am? Can you know who I am? I am a coat of many colors, a box of many crayons, a crystal with many sides. You stand with your back to the world, do you really think that you can know me?

......................................................................................................

The air buzzed with nervous energy. Butterflies fluttered through my stomach. The lights dimmed and the noise of the crowd was hushed. The introduction was given and the stage went black. Bells rand and with anticipation I counted them. Then I began to sing...the night had begun at last.

Movies

What is your goal when you go to see a movie? Do you even have one? Or do you just see movies for the pure fun and enjoyment of it?

I just went to see the midnight showing of the movie "G.I. Joe." It was interesting being there for the first showing in my area. The whole atmosphere of the theatre was so different from what it is usually like. There was a sense of excitement in the air that one only gets from being out late and the anticipation of a long awaited film.

We got there before 11:30pm and almost immediately went inside to get our seats. The theatre started to fill up rather quickly after we got our seats, soon there were people going from row to row asking if seats were taken.

After a wait of over half and hour, the lights finally started to dim as the previews started. I do not even remember all of the previews, but that doesn't really matter. The previews finished and as the crowd started to whisper with anticipation, the open scenes started.

As the movie progressed, there was a lack of the usual whispering you might hear at movies you go to see. It was as if people were just waiting to see what happened next. It was quite strange to have that much silence in an action movie.

Anyway, that was my big adventure for that week. I know that I'm posting this over a week after it happened, but that's the way it goes. Life can be quite busy when you have tons to work on.

...beginnings...

Our stories begin somewhere. A meaningful conversation, a walk in the park, the chords of a musical composition, the brushstrokes of an artist, a picture that takes your breath away, or some such thing. No matter where they may start, they have brought you here right now to read this. I cannot say that I deserve any attention. I can promise you that this is a place of beginnings. A place to start, to envision new beginnings of what you can do. This is where I can share the beginnings I have had and the start of something new.

If by any chance you might find this, I will give you the link to a webpage where you can get a glimpse of the beginnings of my stories. http://tenkeyspread.deviantart.com/

If you so chose, you may visit there. I hope that if you do, you will get a better sense of what you can make with the smallest of intentions.
