SOLITUDE

SOLITUDE

A rare commodity is solitude.
It can be easily misunderstood.
To be all alone with no one else around.
You can do this in the air or on the ground.
You can sail off in the blue sea,
Or hop on a plane without me.
We can all use some time alone.
Without T.V. or telephone.
Time to think about your goal.
You will come back feeling whole.

A rare commodity is solitude.
It can be easily misunderstood.
To be all alone with no one else around.
You can do this in the air or on the ground.
You can sail off in the blue sea,
Or hop on a plane without me.
We can all use some time alone.
Without T.V. or telephone.
Time to think about your goal.
You will come back feeling whole.

A SECRET PLACE

A secret place.
A place to hide.
To call your own.
Far from the madding crowd.
To think.
Perhaps to dream.
Of better times.
Of better lives.
Of choices.
Important decisions.
To escape.
Into the darkness.
Of your own mind.
And be you.

A BOOK

A book is to dream.
Open your mind.
Clean out the cobwebs.
Sharpen the brain cells.
Think.
And imagine.
What was.
And what could be.

A PERFECT CREATION

Time to think.
Open space to explore.
A perfect life.
A perfect creation.

A TIME TO THINK

A time to pause and reflect.
Let the world continue its spinning,
while you stop and think.
Take a deep breath before
moving on to your next adventure.
Before the future becomes the present.

LET YOUR MIND GO!

Journey into the deep recesses of your mind.
Don’t take life at face value.
Let your mind and imagination soar to new heights.
Life won’t seem as mundane as before.
You will find new adventures, places, and people.
Maybe even a better reason for living and life.
Don’t hold back—let your mind go!

IN YOUR MIND

What thoughts are in your mind?
What are you thinking about?
Is it transparent to others?
Or do you keep feelings buried
deep inside of you?

IMAGINE

 

 

This is also a sign of an over-active mind.
Instead of watching the water, the viewer
is imagining a sequence of boxes.
I would imagine something more in the area
of palm trees or dolphins.
To each his own imagination.

This would be a great place to think
and write stories.
I need a place like this.
I’ll just have to make one up in my mind.

Some days my mind feels like this picture.
I look at something simple like a small island,
and my mind conjures up a complicated story.
Instead of a simple island, I end up with a road leading
from a brightly lit house surrounded by fancy gardens.
This road then flows into a river on a bed of rocks.
It can be fun to have an over-active imagination,
especially when I have a place to post my thoughts.

TAKE A WALK

cornersoftheworld:

When my father used to tell me to take
a long walk on a short pier,
I had a picture like this in mind.
Maybe he wasn’t trying to get rid of me,
but pointing me in the right direction.
He was telling me to open my mind
and look out at the water.
He loved the ocean with its changing
moods and colors.
Now when I look out at the ocean, I think of him.

ALL BY MYSELF

SO ALONE.
WHERE IS EVERYONE?
DID I DO SOMETHING?
IS IT MY BREATH?
WHY AM I ALWAYS ALONE?

TIME TO BE

SOMETIMES WE WANT TO HIDE.
NOT TO BE SEEN BY OTHERS.
TIME TO REFLECT.
TIME TO BE OURSELVES.
TIME TO RECHARGE OUR BATTERIES.

TO DREAM

flowersgardenlove:

I WANT TO SIT HERE
AND DREAM.
MAYBE TO WRITE
BUT MOSTLY TO DREAM.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE SNOW?

I'm not ready for the snow. I'm trying to prepare myself with thoughts of white trees and grass, and picnics in the snow. I've never had a picnic in the winter and I don't know if I want to have one.

When the snow covers the earth, I like the quiet that envelopes everything. Before the cars and people come out, you can feel the quiet. No birds or sounds, just total quiet. And a whiteness like a clean blanket thrown over your little spot in the world. I could look forward to this.

When everything is quiet, you could hear yourself think. Feel yourself calm down. A reprieve from the hustle of everyday life. I guess we all could use the time to recharge our inner batteries.
So enjoy the snow and its special gift to you.

To Be Alone

Do you sometimes feel that you need time alone to clear your mind? If you can’t climb to the top of a mountain, then close your eyes and envision that you are there. Take a deep breath and look at the open space around you. No buildings, no cars, and no people. Everything is now placed in perspective. We are just small specks on earth that has a beauty of its own without our help. No matter what we do, life still goes on.
