About
Two things.
1. Deep within each and every single one of us, there is a yearning to become different, to become better. A yearning to excel, a yearning to exceed our limitations, to grow beyond the boundaries that seem to hold us back. A yearning to become the person that your mind sees when you imagine what it would be like at the end of all things.
2. We are, all of us, in a way, two different beings. Inside us are different personalities, some more evident than others. There is the person you truly are on the inside, perhaps a bubbling child, or bitter teenager angry at the choices you can never recover from. Then there is the person the world sees and knows, the person who treads the public path of life; responsible, caring, or maybe, just maybe, a suffering alcoholic and irresponsible father.
We all fight or deny this, some embrace it, but it is an undeniable truth.
In those two things, then, is the essence of this blog:
My yearning, is to fly.
And within me, a battle rages. A battle between a rogue, and a king.
—
“Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with the golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams…“W.B. Yeats
