Something Inspirational

Last post for today I promise.  Came across this on YouTube for a comment for Midnight Oils
Dream World.  Thought it was very apt in the current climate of fear and oppression.

How do Dragons Die

Image
Dragons have an endless fascination for me.  So I wondered how long does a Dragon live and how do they die. I found out the following THE GREAT WYRMS If a dragon lives past the age of 900 years, they are considered a Great Wyrm, and an Elder of the dragon community. All dragons will hold a great meeting to admit the new Great Wyrm to the society of dragons. Great Wyrms are highly regarded for their knowledge, their magical ability, and their prime wisdom. Elders are responsible for the teaching of past history of dragon kind, history of the world, and magic to the adult dragons. If there is an emergency that includes the dragon community, the Elders will call a grand-meeting to discuss the problem and what to do about it. These are the only two times in a dragon's life that they will see so many of their kind in one area. END OF THE LIFE-CYCLE A dragon rarely lives past 1,500. When the time comes, the dragon realizes his life-cycle has come t...

To see into the darkness.

This is going to be one of those meandering posts I have from time to time. I went and saw my psychiatrist today, him and I get on very well.  Our conversations often cross over into mental health theory and treatments.  I recently watched an interview on the ABC about torture and how it effects people.  I ended up coming home with several periodicals and photocopies from reference materials. Its quite funny but i know should he and I ever sit down outside the office we would have the most amazing discussions.

For the first time in 4 years I actually started to cry in his office.  Without realizing it I had unsettled myself.  You see...

Song has new meaning

Image
Isn't it amazing how sometimes old songs can take on new meanings, sometimes decades after they were written.  Some of you probably realize that I am a bit of a Hard Rock/Metal fan.  Couple of days ago I stumbled across a 100 video Megadeth playlist, and spent the next day and a half headbanging like I had long hair.  Any way I thought the lyrics for their song Foreclosure of a Dream Have included the video below. Lyrics as follows Rise so high, yet so far to fall A plan of dignity and balance for all Political breakthrough, euphoria's high More borrowed money, more borrowed time Backed in a corner, caught up in the race Means to an end ended in disgrace Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase Chorus Foreclosure of a dream Those visions never seen Until all is lost Personal Holocaust Foreclosure of a dream Barren land that once filled a need Are worthless now, dead without a deed Slipping away from an iron grip Nature's scales are forced to tip The heartla...
