attemping to follow my leader

"teach me to love like you
and follow you
with reckless abandon...
i have this urge to know
you better than
anything ...
to seek after you and understand you
(as best i can)
to live as you intended,
to love you as you would have,
to reach out to the needy..
use my life in what will best
serve your will.
my life is in your hands
for now and forever.
and even when i stray
(because i will enevitably fail)
i know that you will
come find me and show
me the way back home"

Wow, that's pretty powerful. It's a great prayer. It's incredible striving to be like JC and just knowing that we will fail because were human but He'll be there to pick us up again and will never stop loving us.

A Decade Past - a New One Beginning

Saturday July 7th 2007 -  The day I arrived here - beautiful Victoria BC Canada. It is crazy to think that was a  decade ago - just shy of 24 years old - not having a clue what was coming, only that I needed a change. A chance to find myself , a chance to see what my heart wanted, what my soul was crying out for. All I knew is I needed a change.

I needed to take all my hurts, the darkness I lived in, and the pain that I hid with me and find a way out, find out who I truly was. I knew, deep down that this was the only way I was going to see

Dreams vs. the waking life

"You know, they say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn't you say the same things about life? See, there's a lot of us that are out there that are mapping that mind-body relationship of dreams. We're called the oneironauts; We're the explorers of the dream world. Really, it's just about the two opposing states of consciousness, whichc don't really oppose at all. See, in the waking world, the neurosystem inhibits the activation of the vividness of memories. . . . So, you have these seratonic neurons that inhibit hallucinations, that they themselves are inhibited, during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. See, this allows dreams to appear real, while preventing competition from other perceptual processes. This is why dreams are mistaken for reality. To the funtional system of neural activity that creates our world, there is no difference between dreaming a perception and an action, and actually the waking perception and action." Dream Guy
