Dust

Dust has settled on my computer keyboard over the last week and i'm not exactly sure how it gets there or where its come from. Its kind of like all these little particles get together and become a blanket of dust. They don't just come all at once but seem to get together over a period of time and just know how to get together to create a blanket. They provide a film which eventually becomes a complete blanket holding on to whatever they connect. They have different characteristics and consistancies but you always know what they are when you see them: dust.
Dust has an uncanny way of affecting the unused, the left behind, the stagnant. I'm not sure how this works on my mind, but a blanket of dustlike material has an almost eery effect on thinking. Things drop into my knowledge base over time and eventually gather together just like dust having an effect like that blanket to direct my thinking in certain ways, not necessarily always in the direction I would have my thinking go. Dust on the mind. A blanket of items which are almost like refuse from the myriad of information I take in each day from technology, from conversations, from fallout from the clouds of peripheral information.
Dust clogs things up over time. One skill to learn is not necessarily how to get rid of all the dust but to rearrange the dust so it becomes useful for the imagination rather than causing a stagnancy.
Dust probably does have some nutrient value for growth but needs to be placed where it can have a positive rather than negative effect. In the same way dust on the brain needs to be harnessed for a positive effect rather than left as a blanket of obstruction. What are the items in my mind that have a destructive effect rather than a constructive process and how can i rearrange this 'dust' of the mind.

Sometimes in life things don't seem to fit together. The world often seems smaller than it is and when we narrow our boundaries we almost disappear. A tree will stay in the same place for years yet with all its changes it will seem to grow far more than we see changes in people. Time will seem short yet often endless. Fitting life into time seems difficult yet i fill life with too many incidentals and outside of our relationships with others not much makes sense. The cold seeps in through windows yet its the windows that open my eyes to the world around me. Today is a new adventure and God will use time to take me through to a new level of awareness in light of my rleationships.

anomalies

After being in Southern California arriving back in the winter is kind of a shock to the system. Its like being in a time capsul for some time and then being ejected into the outer environment and having to deal with the harshness of a new reality which you haven't experienced before. The challenges are great. The mystery is great. It is a little unsettling as the world isn't as known or as cosy as it used to be. When i adapt to the winter, i find it a great place for seeing inside. Solitude and silence create a great atmosphere for change, for internal readjustment, for new dreams and direction. Sometimes contentment breeds stagnation. Change is vital to life and to contiued growth and adventure in my character. When anomalies show up during my daily mediwalk i understand the value of changing directions. Anomalies occur for the enhancement of my psyche and for renewing the culture of my mind.
