Loch Ness

The love I’m in search of isn’t about an idea. It’s a real thing composed of very organic things that complete a unique and substantially different thing than the sum of its parts. Fused together it comprises a solid state that is unique from the elements that make it up, while still remaining part of those individual characteristics. You don’t lose them, it instead is a third thing dependent on them to grow and maintain it’s life. Without them, it’s nothing and with them it’s everything. It starts as an idea, to be sure, but it doesn’t end that way because it departs into the wild a very different creature than it is in the lab and if developed right it can live on well past it’s own life perpetuating a beauty that exists in some form or another forever. Like most mythical creatures, some will have claimed to see it at some point or another in their lifetimes, but it will only reveal itself to far fewer who won’t feel the need to speak of their great discovery, but rather to demonstrate the change in the remainder of the compositions that make up their lives.

Hootie & The Blowfish - I Will Wait

When I wake to find the solace of
All that we’ve become
I can’t wait to make the promises
I’ve been leery of

Illusions

I don’t like to say too much
but sometimes I feel life gets cluttered
by the things that are unsaid

Do you ever wonder why people
have such a hard time describing
the colors of things
its because they see them differently
than other people do

Harbor no illusions of my grandeur
for I am a plodding mediocrity
the miracle of our discovery
is that we get chances to act
on the things we call dreams

I celebrate the knowledge
that our souls inhabit the same universe
the feeling alone makes the journey 
worth the distance from here to there

Arnold Whelding, Tuesday.

It is Tuesday and I am Arnold Whelding.

My life doesn’t really make a lot of sense. But nonetheless, it belongs to me until I relinquish my last breath.

I am certain there is more to life than what it resembles at the moment, but I have yet to discover it. Until then, I shall continue drinking from this cup, walking the same path I do to work and wait for the appearance that better days are ahead.
