Recently there was a girl I liked, and she told me she wanted to feel like a bird, because when a bird flies, it doesn’t care what anyone says or thinks about it. She said you have to fly before you can express yourself.
Nearby there was a balloon man holding balloons, so I said maybe if she held enough of them she could float up into the sky like a bird and land on the soft white fluffy clouds… she told me she didn’t think so but we could try. So we bought the balloons and we tied them to her but sadly it didn’t work.
Why did we do that? Was it a desire to leave behind Darwinian natural selection and beat evolution?
As humans we may not be able to attain the beauty of a free-spirited bird, its grace, movement and existence. But to notice what is important to her, to explore it with her, to create a mutual understanding of ideas from one emotion to another, and how it all relates to life… you can easily find out what makes her happy, and when to leave something at suggestion level.
If you’re curious, if you’re thirsty, if you’re creative, you can take an idea and make it seen. Nothing will happen if you don’t show it. Your mind will give you answers, it will give you the power to create something beautiful. Maybe the reality around us is merely something we negotiate between us…
Imagine…
In Western thought everything exists out there. Eastern thought, the mind exists and reality is an illusion. She comes to this place, maybe it is unreal, but she feels happy.
HB: One day I’ll wake up and I’ll think ahh alex, okay… I’ll call him. I’ll say hey it’s the girl you tried flying with…
Maybe today is just my memory as long as I can remind… the life is true…
