Maybe I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...John Lennon's words were a
big influence in my life. Music, poetry, reading, art, dreaming, exploring boundaries
physically, mentally and spiritually, sex, laughter and loving are the things that make me
smile. As I develop this page I will try to include some of the things that have helped me
along the way,  things I find just plain fun, some personal poetry,  and some things
I'm still learning. Don't expect this to be a mainstream page, I'm not...

We live as we dream...alone

Joseph Conrad

 

         In a dream Nasrudin saw himself being counted out coins. When there were nine silver
pieces in his hand, the invisible donor stopped giving them. Nasrudin shouted,
"I must have ten!" so loudly that he woke himself up. Finding that all the money had
          disappeared he closed his eyes again and murmured, "All right, then, give them back
--I'll take the nine."

DREAMS

I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
W.B. Yeats

In dreams we see ourselves naked
and acting out our real characters
even more clearly than we see others awake
Henry David Thoreau

All we see and seem is but a dream within a dream
Edgar Allan Poe

The more a man dreams, the less he believes.
     --H. L. Mencken

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.
     Oscar Wilde

ILLUSIONS

A monk said to Nasrudin:
     'I am so detached that I never think of myself, only of others.'
     Nasrudin answered:
     'I am so objective that I can look at myself as if I were another person; so I can afford to think of myself.'

To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wildflower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake

It is respectable to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull.
     --Joseph Conrad

The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
     --Oscar Wilde

If the doors of perception were cleansed
everything would appear to man as it is,
infinite.
William Blake

If he paid for each day's comfort with the small change of his illusions,
he grew daily to value the comfort more
and set less store upon the coin.
Edith Wharton

Yes all my illusions will burn
into illumination of joy
and all my desires ripen
into fruits of love
Rabindranath Tagore

 

Love is the affirmation of energy

that keeps it flowing through us.

Paul Williams

ENERGY

Possessiveness is a form of doubt.
People cling to what they (think they) have because
they doubt that they're worthy of it.
If they knew their own worth,
they'd know there is no need to cling.
Paul Williams

If you make a list of words for God,
you will have a list of all words.
You will not have God.
Energy flows through all things;
It rests in none of them
Paul Williams
