My ideal future is one without the pains of my past, and free from the pains of the world. My dream job is to be enwrapped in beauty and the arts in life. This includes the good in people, interactions, and outside of the beauty found between people, to explore the world. My dream job is a creative job, a creative career, a creative lifestyle of my unique own. I want to live on an ongoing basis around the world in the comfortable, luxurious, natural, and innovative parts. I want to have somewhere between 0-2 children. My big break is going away in a distant land, such as in warm weather near nature in comfortable conditions with all the real resources I want and need. I want to bathe in the sunlight, fruits, plants, and forage. My ideal financial situation is one where I can afford all of my necessities and for my creative endeavors and adventures. I want to feel free and expressive from within, also creating the most interesting and special things I discover myself that does good for me and the world. I want to be the best person I can be, and never be in any discomfort nor pain.
An unexpected twist in the story of my life is someone recognizing my talent that actually supports me fully to bring out the best in me. This person, organization, or mysterious power will empower me to accomplish all of my goals, and lets me push myself forward where I will have no more discontent left within me. Every bit of my life and energy will be dedicated and changed into renovations of new and better properties. This unexpected discover and twist will destroy all of my heavy past and scars that weigh me down. I will be not tied down by any weights that keep me from anything I desire.
My alternate universe future where I could not plan for but is just as successful, awesome, and rewarding as the creative life is one where I can be absolutely alone. To be absolutely alone is bliss in soul and environment because I can be left within the beauty of the life and the world without the bother of society and people. I may be left inside the beauty of the arts, nature, and my own self where I may create my own world. I will not need anyone for I am independent and sufficient on my own. If I am not, my life may end just as any others incompetence for living. But to be analogically completely alone, is the most beautiful gift of serenity where there will be absolutely no worries, no troubles, no responsibilities, and no one and nothing to care. To be completely free is to be alone and let go into the world.
The grace that I may face
In the future of today
May involve one two many
Of what I may count
On my hands
Taken by other hands
When help is needed
I help myself
When others open
My mind to let me see
Through their eyes and conspire
Lighting others and myself on fire
To feel the latent dire
Love holding onto pain dear
And in it people learn about serenity
Resilient qualities
That is when I learn to think worldly
Feel more truly
See with clarity
Hear and listen closely
Jenny,
ReplyDeleteGreat poem this week. It feels like you let it go and let it flow a little more freely - with more abstract lines. Good flow. Try to infuse some more imagery into your next poem... add some more nouns that put images into the reader's mind. Then, do what you want with those nouns. Manipulate them. Add color, scent, style.
Your journal this week is good, but it needs to have more detail in the imagination. As for creating 2 futures, both your ideal and your alternate seem very similar. They are both good intention-setting paragraphs, where you want to be "free", "creative", etc. But try to start to get more specific.
Where do you want to live that is warm? Colombia?
Who is this person that helps you out, a record producer?
What type of job would you be happy to have in your alternate future?
Take out your finer paint brush and give finer details. Let your imagination create something sharp, not blurry and general.
Keep the vision. Let it become more clear with fun, creativity, and imagination. Let is start to take a good shape. A specific shape.
