  • The Impossible Dream

    Impossible Dream

    To dream the impossible dream
    To fight the unbeatable foe
    To bear with unbearable sorrow
    And to run where
    the brave dare not go

    To right the unrightable wrong
    And to love pure and chaste from afar
    To try when your arms are too weary
    To reach the unreachable star

    This is my quest
    To follow that star
    No matter how hopeless
    No matter how far

    To fight for the right
    Without question or pause
    To be willing to march,
    march into hell
    For that heavenly cause

    And I know
    If I’ll only be true
    To this glorious quest
    That my heart
    Will lie peaceful and calm
    When I’m laid to my rest

    And the world will be
    better for this
    That one man, scorned
    and covered with scars,
    Still strove with his last
    ounce of courage
    To reach the unreachable,
    the unreachable,
    The unreachable star

    And I’ll always dream
    The impossible dream
    Yes, and I’ll reach
    The unreachable star

    Sung by Luther Vandross

    (For some strange reason, the lyrics of this song is echoing in the void between my ears this morning as I recover from a Red Bull induced hangover.

  • Astral Travelling

    I want to astral travel. It’s something that has fascinated me all my life, and for some reason I was reminded about it again tonight. But my mind is always racing these days, so I’ll never be able to achieve the meditative state that will make it possible. But I want to do it really badly. This physical form just doesn’t hold much appeal for me any longer. 

    I want to be able to voluntarily step outside of my body and observe the world through untethered eyes. I want to see how truly enslaved we are by our physical form so that I can appreciate every vision that I behold of spaces I’ll never be able to fill. I don’t just want to dream. I want to will myself to travel through the earth without boundaries, or limitations in movement or passage. I want to liberate my spirit from my physical form so that I can immerse myself into the beauty of the physical form. 

    It’s always in the absence of something that it is appreciated, and perhaps the same will be true for my body. I’m not unappreciative for my health and my physical abilities. I consider myself blessed in every way. But this will give me an insight and appreciation that would otherwise not be possible. I want to rise above myself, deliberately and consciously. But not permanently, just yet.
