Today was a lazy day…

I figured I should update since well, my birthday has come and gone. I did go out, but it wasn’t the hype bday night I’d envisioned for myself. I’ll have a halfway party when I turn 25 or something. Anyway, it’s been a long week. In fact, too long to really divulge. Goin thru the regular ups and downs with my brother, work, living, etc. Somehow though, I’m able to see the sunshine thru the rain. I got a spectacular idea for a book in my sleep the other night, but I’m finding a hard time remembering it. In the dream I was on Oprah, and she was recommending that the story be made into a movie thru Harpo Studio productions and that the concept was fantastic. Wait a minute, just as I wrote this, the idea came back to me. I am going to start trying to develop it now. But I’m still gonna finish my other book. It seems that the inspiration that I usually have when it comes to writing so often comes to me when I’m asleep or almost there. Maybe I can only think when I’m in a state of rest. Maybe that’s why God made me so calm in spirit.

A mighty calm is in the creative,

we are able to withstand the pressure,

the pull of life.

We fly when we fall,

breathe when we’re drowning

and run when we’re tired.

The truth of the matter is

the creative hold the key to unlocking a matter of truths.

It’s the thought that such a force as electricity can be harnassed,

that machines with four wheels and two wings could take us thousands of miles beyond physical limits.

We see the limits then overstep our bounds.

There is always a road to be taken that has not yet been.

We have the ability to be.

Wherever there is average, let it not be where we are.

To put it plainly

the sight of a blank page,

a pen,

a canvas,

a brush,

a thought,

a wish

and a dream excites us.

The world is a stage life’s meant to be played on

so we re-create life.

Yes, there is calm in the creative,

a mighty calm, 

We are calmest in our sleep,

where we create dreams. – T. Lockett (c) 2005
