4am writing 5am cleaning.

5am finch:

sprinklers making small patches of rain
coyote
almost utter emptiness, with a few early risers with backpacks and eyes still bleary to the day ahead thrown in.
ghosts in the graveyard and the intoxicating smell of flowers.
I now know what my ghosts are like.
they sound like wind but rattle more
to show they are alive.
it is a sweeping gust and it whines a little.
they sweep the sidewalks between the graves make the little leaves patter
I can't really describe it afterall, go out and see it for yourself.
The utter vast emptiness of the parking lot at Promenade
proving to the world it's useless ness
when there are cars there it's harder to see it. but now. it is evident.
all around me grey grey grey.
the small outnumbered patch of trees has vast-ly more use
they do. something.
they breathe. and wave.
the most peaceful passengers on earth.
the empty lot just sits.
but the silence is nice
the expanse is nice
it leaves you bewildered,
as you should be
when bowing down before nature
at the dawn of the day.

(even cars parked on the grass, that would slowly turn to dirt would be better,at least it would have the semblane of being alive, it would at least it would be brown not gray. )

my favourite line from Robert Frost

we work together whether we work together or alone.

poem. The child and the actor are one.

The child is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred, always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling
of loving
a hundred joys for singing
and understanding
a hundred worlds to discover
a hundred worlds to invent
a hundred worlds to dream.
The child has a hundred languages
(and a hundred hundred hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine
the school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child to think
without hands
to do without head
to listen and not speak
to understand without joy
to love and marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
They tell the child
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
They tell the child that
work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:
No way. The hundred is there!

oops I almost forgot or (other people are wonderful)

I almost forgot I had a blog. But then I remembered or rather another blog reminded me. hurrah.
It's 4:05, same time as the writing of the first one. clearly this is my time for sending thoughts out, into the universe. collaborating with people fills me with so much excitement, it is one of the truly wonderful things.
not related to the previous statement: reminds me of myself (by exposing sides of me) (this is also wonderful but seperate from the above. collaboration is both wonderful in its own right and because of this.



current thoughts:

Ken Robinson is a G. (locate/read more materials by him/find his book)

songs: we are all in this together, my little town, jason mraz

Libya (read more Aljazeera, talk to people, find out why canada is not doing anything)
http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/03/20113394537843279.html

tomorrow:acting first, editing after, slides when I get home.


responsibility, organization (making more room for things[mostly non material ones] in my life , getting a job

add a rant/explaination/consideration of sorry

psych/philosophy stuff

love,

question

why do quotation marks around "certain" words always seem slightly insulting, sometimes you are actually trying to quote someone else, using a word in the context that they did and therefore since it does not have the usual meaning, and is taken from another person, this word needs quotation marks around it. nothing more, no sarcasm necessarily applied.

p.s quotation marks around certain= not my most stellar comic moment.

Search and destroy, but with you inner most thoughts.

Dealing with insecurity is like firing laser beams at enemy spaceships that stealthily encroach on you trying to takeover. (like in those old school video games.) Watching your worries go up in plumes of fiery smoke, very gratifying.

But you never know where the next one will come from.

not everything needs to be titled

My Room:

A place for big dreams
And small surprises

My hope: May the surprises grow in size. And more flags be ticked off on my flag map of the world.
