the thing about dreamin'....

"When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dreeeeeeeeam"

computer crash...

ok, so the planets are spinning swirling all out of kilter - the moon isn't hanging properly - i've angered the gods and know not how - it's raining - it's not raining - it's cold - and/or all of the above or none of the above - the result is the same - my desktop computer ate a trojan yesterday and/or was eaten by one - again, result the same - and so, i sit and pick and peck on my laptop for which i am ill prepared mentally or otherwise - all of which leads me to let you know my little posts will be hard to come by until my bigboy is up and at it again - my thoughts just literally seem to coagulate into blobs and not blogs on this kid sized keyboard - please be patient - i'll be in and out checking your places as i can - till then, boys and girls - peace and love - jenean

throw your dreams...

Throw your dreams 

into space like a kite, 

and you do not know

what it will bring back, 

a new life, a new friend, 

a new love, a new country.

the necessity...

Dreams are necessary to life.

seeking stillness...

hmmmm...i've been at my computer now for quite a while and remain unable to find the thoughts or words for posting - for posting anything at all - my thoughts the past few days seem to be inundated with "movement and chaos" [as my travel journal post refers to yesterday] - and sadness -

and, needing desparately right now to find a state of "stillness" within, with which to counter the chaos,  i think i have to be away for just a day or two - so, i'm headed to that inner island you see above -

in the meantime, i know you'll save a place for me in your "happy place" -

later, friends -

scenes from a night's dream...

Little Nemo rubbed his eyes and got out of bed,
trying hard to piece together a broken dream.
His visions lifelike and full of imagination
it's strange to think they came from such a tiny head.

Dragons breathing fire, but friendly.
Mushrooms tall as houses.
Giant Nymphs and goblins playing,
scenes from a night's dream, poor Little Nemo!

Eating all kinds of food so close to bedtime
they always made him have these nightmares, it seemed.

a dream in my eyes...

i wake up in the morning

with a dream in my eyes

echo...

Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope and love of finished years.

O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter-sweet,
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brim-full of love abide and meet;
Where thirsting longing eyes
Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.

Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again though cold in death;
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.

the rain falls...

Everytime you see a tree
or dream a cloud,
there is that in you of the tree
there is that in you of the cloud.

The saguaro dreams in drought and endures.
The cloud dreams our woe 
--sneezes, cries.
The rain falls.

the colour of dreams...

I've dreamt in my life 

dreams that have stayed 

with me ever after, and 

changed my ideas; 

they've gone through 

and through me, 

like wine through water, 

and altered

the colour of my mind.

the dreamer...

a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight -

and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before 

the rest of the world -

the shadow dreams...

men are the dreams of a shadow

the nature of dreams...

to me dreams 

are part of  

nature,

which harbors 

no intention 

to deceive

but

expresses 

something 

as 

best it can

wishing you magical moments in 2010...

In blissful dream, 

in silent night, 

There came to me, 

with magic might, 

With magic might, 

my own sweet love, 

Into my little room above.

from the gods...

a dream, too, is from zeus...

THINKING OF YOU...

as we each journey into a new year,
thank you for traveling along with me -

wishing you peace love and passion -

jenean

first a dream...

Nothing

happens

unless 

first

a

dream.

the two roads of south africa...

If there are dreams 

about a beautiful South Africa, 

there are also roads 

that lead to their goal. 

Two of these roads 

could be named 

Goodness

and 

Forgiveness.

dear friends -

just to let you know, as my little campfires in blogland bear witness, the past week or so has found me distracted and sidetracked with the ups and downs of familial and other issues which have taken me from my usual time and energies on my own blogs and those of dear friends such as you -  in addition, i'm working on a couple of LARGE art pieces with imminent deadlines -

so please forgive my seemingly "irreverent" attention here and know that my lack of regular postings and comments in no way reflects anything except that which it is - peripheral things to which i must attend for a couple of weeks -

but i'll be back and forth as i can so please check over at my places at your leisure, as i, of course, will yours!  and, as always, i'll be thinking of you and yours with much affection - jenean

Anais Nin's motto...

proceed from the dream outward

purple haze...

To unpathed waters, 

undreamed shores.

the icy night of my spirit...

“Yes, I now feel that it was then 

on that evening of sweet dreams- 

that the very first dawn of 

human love burst upon 

the icy night of my spirit. 

Since that period 

I have never seen 

nor heard your name 

without a shiver 

half of delight, 

half of anxiety.”

the color of my mind...

I have dreamed in my life, 

dreams that have 

stayed with me ever after, 

and changed my ideas; 

they have gone through 

and through me, 

like wine through water, 

and altered the 

color of my mind.

i dream...

i don't dream 
at night

i dream 
all day

i dream for

a living...

the musical dreams of musicians...

musicians dream of music more than twice with respect to non-musicians -

musical dreams frequency is related to the age of commencement of musical instruction, but not to the daily load of musical activity -

nearly half of the recalled music was non-standard,

suggesting that original music can be created in dreams -
