(playing is Miles Davis – Smoke Gets in your Eyes) …
i was recently involved in this discussion about life and how people perceive it on one of the yahoo groups (PTP – Pen Temple Pilots) .. i'm not gonna go into the details of the discussion right now really, but there was something posted in the midst of the heated debate that got me to writing this blog .. actually that would be the mildest effect it had on me, initiating a blog i mean .. it was like a wake-up call .. no, it was literally a wake-up call .. i was drifting away .. and it snatched me out of the swamp i was sinking into, and back to reality … (i would like to add the word 'beautiful' right there before 'reality') …
what was the post about? .. ok , it was about those people who get their minds so fixed on one dream and congregate all their energy and power to try an make it come true .. but while doing so, they lose track of the beautiful things in their lives … they just stop enjoying .. thinking they r probably saving their energy for the task at hand; making the dream come true .. yeah, it's true .. people sometimes do that … well, myself included .. i've been doing that recently .. i was hung-up on a dream .. a dream that had a whole life of its own .. i was so blindly living my dream and shunning reality .. sometimes thinking i need to focus on the dream for it to come true .. sometimes just enjoying living it in my mind … but once i read that post .. i realized i was wrong … not wrong cuz i had such a gorgeous dream … but wrong to let it prevent me from enjoying my life … specially that i've realized, my reality is so beautiful .. maybe not complete but so beautiful ..
i once read a saying that goes, "love is when u don't want to go to sleep, because reality is better than a dream" … well, i ain't there yet .. but for the mean time .. my dream, however great it is (and it is GREAT), will not prevent me from enjoying my beautiful reality again …
PS.
this line is for my baby ...
i can't get that far away ... i need u ..
