Two months to the day! Oh my!
I'll be coming back now, not that I expect anyone else will...hahah.
But my greatest faith lies in the peculiar arrangements time and space seem to make of themselves if we let them, so I trust whatever mysterious timing manifests in this place will be what it's meant to :) I often find myself stumbling across strangely fitting words at strangely fitting times, and I would be endlessly happy should the universe anonymously orchestrate any sort of effect on any of you either through the absence of my words or the presence of them in any future moment... mmmagic!
For today, we will wait on the return to Orthodoxy (check back late Sunday night..I hope to have something new up then!)...and we will ease back in with the inhabitants of a strange little scrap of paper I found in an old notebook this morning. I must say, my knack for spontaneously making and losing/forgetting/re-finding things keeps me endlessly mystified--no matter how organized my house is, I am forever finding hidden treasure! *cue haunting you-know-what-movie song* "yo-ho, yo-ho......" ;D
there are places beyond these
that i've been
and that i've seen
in the deep hours of your slumber
and the words you didn't mean
i've crept through woods that spoke to me
long aft' and 'fore their green
reclined in 'empty' earthen beds
in this same in-between
i fell asleep and found myself
in some forgotten dream
where all the things i'd learned to know
were nothing like they'd seemed...

I am back for you!
And I hope someday soon you find my picture frame/drumstick combination!

What is this loss of knowledge that you talk about where things that you have learned are not like they seemed (I am presuming when you first learned them). If things eventually in the future become not like they seem to us now then where the fuck do we go from here. Is there any present trust or should we always be skeptical that these houses are actually built on sand, not on the rock we supposed at first. Or maybe is there some test, some sort of qualification that ideas have that seem to say this is the dependable. You will never find this castle washed away but you can put your complete (dare I say it) FAITH in it. If there is this quality that some things are stamped with; what is it? Does anyone really know because haven't all things fallen away for someone at some point. Is there one thing, idea, belief, truth, concept -whatever- that has never let people down to the point where things eventually end up to the point that they are nothing resembling the original. Thanks for sharing your blog, Nat
P.S.- Upon reviewing my blurb it noticed it sounds harsh and judgmental- please use the discretion that should be used with all typed words and don't forget about sarcasm and me just being the devil's advocate- thanks.
Hahah...oooh Nat, I was just telling someone today about part of our conversation the other night & how you never fail to play devil's advocate ;D I enjoy when people do! (Most of the time.)(Not when it is self-indulgent/irrelevantly tangential/fruitless. That is infantile and I will indicate my disinterest via immediate withdrawal should it occur. hahah.)
The thing about responding to your comment is that it is nearly impossible, as I think you may be arguing against something that is not there. It was interesting to see what you read into it though ;)
To answer your question, it is simply about seeing curious things that "aren't there" by seeing past things that "are." It is not at all about the loss of knowledge, but the acquisition of awareness.
