Clearly imagined

So many pressures, worries, limitations, baggage, burdens ... they all have their role in confusing us. Like a dusty wind shield, a good washing will clear the view of the way forward. I read "Surprised by joy" again and saw some of what I went through internally. Somehow the Sehnsucht could have been avoided because CS Lewis was struggling with apriori concepts; things that can't be empirically proven. But I was struggling with myself as I tried to find newness after a dry spell. As an idealist, I do think alot to try to understand patterns and learn from them. Actually I'm only trying to make life easier. Both Lewis and I could have avoided a lot of energy if we cleared our view.

After a lot of dealing with negativity and lies, I had become disillusioned and confused. If I gave up, I would be living in an overcast drizzling overture that could push me to desperation. I'm sure you've heard this quote before: "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.": Henry David Thoreau.

But he also said, "I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
Imagine that?
