thursday thoughts

thursday thoughts

i've started and stopped this post about 10 times now
what is it that i am wanting to say?

i am entirely unsure

i want to think grand thoughts
thoughts of inclusiveness
thoughts of bigness
thoughts of "in" instead of "out"
thoughts of "give" instead of "take"
thoughts of "yes" instead of "no"
thoughts that do not have regard for boxes
thoughts that soar
thoughts that approach an indescribable, uncontainable
poetic thoughts
thoughts that are free, limitless, boundless

and so on

yet
i am bound
i am limited by my me

contemplating the words of jesus
feels to me like trying to see a magic eye puzzle
i can think my way out of it - never see it
but once i get inside i'm all about exploring the space
somewhat hypnotized
and realizing that my "understanding" is fleeting
but i can remember what it is like -
re-imagine it

ok
enough for now
what are you smoking, greggo?

nothing

good night

i love magic eye puzzles...

and i think you want to be a bridge rather than a wall.

i enjoyed this post because that's how i feel most of the time; like i'm just not loud enough to be heard, or big enough to hold the substance of the thought.

whoa... what were you smoking?
