running in daydreams

you think I am just a troll but the reality is I am a lady with the mind of a city—creative, kickin’, comin’ straight from the beginnin’

continuing to keep the reality without giving in to the surreality as I don’t understand this state that we have ended up in;  I just want it this weekend, I just want us to be able to speak again; no exterior views as they tend to allow our minds to skew; we must keep them clear and I must face and have less fear; how can you fall again when there is no focus as you are clouded with smoke and mirrors to reflect the light and help us both be less slight; I don’t want to fight, I would rather make this right than have the spite; there is no reason to keep make believin’, it is true that I daydream but where else am I to go to and be with my own; it is here I find my rhythm to continue to create and be without block as these images of mine are not stock; I keep my thoughts here as they allow me to steer through the bullshit while keeping myself fit to life as I don’t want to just keep sit; it is better to walk than to live this life with no talk; you hide it all and then wonder why I was not there to catch your fall—it was your weakness that could not be masked by the sweetness of the nothings that roll but did not mean some things were to happen just off the tongue as if it were to be done; contrary to your belief that stride is imaginary and speaks of the tea leafs that are still sitting in the bag without looking at the future it couldn’t be much clearer; enough of this hocus-pocus I deserve to continue to live my life with my own focus and reach my goal as I will be in the position I earn all on my own; wearing  my smile I will continue to walk for the longest mile as I ran around that track without ever looking back; only ahead until I see that line then I will know it is my time.

The imprint of your imagination

The mind is a powerful thing.   This makes our imagination just as powerful.   Sure we may daydream, get lost in our thoughts, think on things but the product of our thoughts and our imagination is what allows for an imprint to be conveyed.

As an artist, creator, designer, innovator, explorer; it is the imagination that gives us the power to pursue our goals; thus combined with the talent to transform those thoughts into real time is even more powerful.  It is a good thing to be able to dive into the depths of your imagination and harness those thoughts; it is an even better thing to be able to know how to convey those images or thoughts with a medium of choice.

Combining the strength of your mind and having the ambition and/or strength to scream those thoughts out via various forms to make an imprint is rewarding and at times, can be difficult.   There are times that things just won’t align.   Syncopation may occur; as we know there is rhythm in everything.  There is movement.   Take a look at a piece of artwork or an sculpture; your eyes will travel, there is a focal point but there is that movement that brings you there.  Piet Mondrian.  He believed in the rhythm of art.  He took notice of color placement, shapes; the way they would affect your view of an overall piece.   It’s true.   At times syncing our thoughts to our hands can be difficult, the slightest of change in positioning can ultimately change the thought that you are trying to replicate.

What do we do? We adjust.  That adjustment of that variable has now become something different, it has brought a different piece of life.  Now our thoughts are moving elsewhere and fast.  Developing. Analyzing.  Observing. Translating. Understanding. This piece that was born in our imagination—it is continuing to grow in our mind. Changing rapidly.  Becoming bigger.  More brilliant.   Building. Building.  Consuming.  Generating.  Use this color instead of this.  Put this line here.   Change this font.  Rotate this.  Drop this brush stroke here.  Round that corner more.  Apply more heat.  What if I were to add another layer?  It continues,  this mind of ours, that gives us this imagination of ours—well that is where our imprint comes from. This is where our masterpieces are born.  Feed your mind, give it more to think on.   Continue to absorb information, at some point all that info you have there…..will connect and allow you to create bigger and better things, more than you can imagine at this moment.

Think about that.  At this moment, you cannot imagine further than you have without growth; our imaginations grow as we grow. Expose your mind, witness, learn, read, play, continue this on repeat.  Most of all be brave, explore the depths, you never know what you may produce.  

Be confident.  Observe.  Listen.  Understand. Create. Grow.  Continue to grow………never stop growing.  Let your imagination take you.
