Time to Rest

I wait for sleep

The escape from all I know

To a place that only I can go

Free to live, Free to explore

Worlds to create, Adventures to have

Places to see, Things to do

No boundaries, No limits, No rules

No expectations, No stereotypes, No fear

Existence is the playground of the mind

Awakening brings halt to the vision

Reality and Dreams cross

Confusion, Deja Vu; the daily special

The road may bend in the Distance

But for now...I wait for sleep

Change

The Greek symbol Δ is often used to represent change in mathematical equations. It points the way to something different from where you previously were. I like experiencing things in different ways; in different places. The weather changes; fashion changes; social attitudes change. Variety is an essential part of keeping one’s sanity on the path of life.

But I don’t like when people change. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the bully realizing what a douche he is and changing his ways or any other attribute that may have a negative effect on others. Sometimes the reluctance to change in one person has a changing effect in others; if for no other reason, then just to make life ‘easier’ or less confrontational. But after years of changing for others you wake up one day not knowing who you are and how/why you got to this place.

Recently saw the movie All About Steve. It’s a new movie around the same theme; we shouldn’t change who we are for anyone. We may change some of the things we do, but not who we are. One of my favorite lyrics by the late Michael Hutchence is ‘Don’t change for you, Don’t change a thing…for me.’
