Written on a plane ride to Austin, Texas (w/intro)

Sun Nov 1, 2009, 8:42 PM
I had tried to write something - anything - on the plane ride, but I kept passing out in my chair. The open, empty page of my notebook was being used like a drum when a friend of mine nearby asked what I was writing.

"Nothing yet."

About a minute later, this came to mind. I typed it up when I got back home from Austin after lightly editing it.

I passed out, again, soon after writing it.




"Lifetime Renouncement"

A casual conversion, unresisted.

A symbiotic relationship of open and shut eyes.

These dreams phase into reality
and become a framework for perception's architecture.

This writing is a sonograph into the brain-child of 22 years lived out of dreams.
The still-birth-mindset, now laid to rest.

Now, there is only afterlife -
the mesh of collected dreams with reality.

A casual conversion, unresisted.

She is heaven. Pure, unadulterated heaven. The kind of woman every man meets at least once in his life. Does he let her walk by, after a quick hello before class starts, or will the back-most part of his mind click? And in that moment, will he see how beautiful she is, or just pass her through his mind?

Love has been on my mind for a while now; it's not my usual topic of thought, so I'm not entire certain what that means. There seems like so many other important topics to think about: our collapsing economy, questionable business practices and equally questionable political arrangements. But my mind dismisses all of these - and more - in favor of love.

Maybe it's the intangibility of love that has me so interested. Not that love isn't real - I've seen more than enough cases of love to know that's not true - but it's not as physical of a thing as government and corporate corruption. Love's importance doesn't seem to measure up to how Reality seems to be collapsing in on the American Dream.

And yet, it is. Or at least, it is for me.

It's hard to tell if this consistent consideration of love is just being brought on by hormones, or by some sort of superficial "biological clock", but it feels real. It feels like the love of my friends - which has always been enough - seems to be lacking. Not to say that I don't love my friends; it just doesn't seem to hit as deep into my metaphorical heart as it used to.

Rereading my first paragraph of this string of consciousness, I'm worried. Have I fallen in love with the idea of Love? Has this Love made love unattainable? Is there a part of my subconscious that believes I've already met this "perfect" woman?

It makes me wonder: Do I even believe in perfection?

Everything I believe pushes me toward becoming a better person, and making the people around me better. There doesn't seem to be an endpoint; just change. Constant change to the world around. Perfection might be personified by someone who can always adapt to every situation, but that doesn't feel right. Perfection should be more solid than that, shouldn't it? I could be corny here, and say that Perfection is relative to the person, but that just doesn't feel right; even if it is.

If Perfection isn't just one ideology that we all aspire toward, then why do so many people waste their lives telling us all how to become perfect? It creates a series of contrasts: if one person's perfection conflicts with another, are either of them really above the rest of us?

I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with that, but I suppose the point I'm really driving at is: why spend time telling someone else how to live, when you can use that time to improve yourself? Maybe, by becoming a better person, they'll see how to become a better person.

Is Love real? Is Love perfect? Maybe that's relative to who you talk to.
