standing on the edge of a cliff at the supposedly northern most point of Europe. on a bleak dull hazy and cloudy day with eyes pointed towards the north looking out into the open oceans, i am reminded about a inconsequential spec.
a spec traveling the distances for what ?
for the dreams, because i am poor and its only dreams that provide me with all the wealth.
under presence of the elements (natural/unnatural), i have only dreams to move me forward. dreams that i have long nourished and a dreams that just popped up in between in the years spent, waiting for a time when they will be cherished. and in an attempt to reach the dreams certain actions will be made and these will in time bear their own fruits. fruits which might be sweet or sour.
but sure the fruits will be plucked and related to as food for thought. something like chaos theory … but finding the true cause ….. not all ‘things’ happen for a reason …… instead we hold on to ‘things’ to relate to and place a reason for the occurrence.
when is the time right for change ?
this blog is still using wordpress 2.2.1 when the latest available version is 2.5.1, meaning there is quite a bit change in wordpress that i have not adopted. also the current theme however nice, i still feel it lacks in code simplicity and speed of delivery. so to address these issues i have been testing some new themes on the new wordpress release and the results were out the moment i tried all the themes i had chosen.
each theme delivers in one aspect while failing in other, and each theme would need some amount of customization to fit my design, aesthetic and post needs. so sooner or later you will see a new theme running on the latest available version of wordpress.
but when is this change needed ?
and just as i am writing this down, i am slowly getting sucked into the never ending cycle of a monotonous and boring IT job.
focus, interest, vision, future, direction, all seem to be a distant thing of the past or future
so what next ?
act and act fast, be the change you want to see
change slowly effects but then how it changes life is something different
but i am sure when a decision is made, a strong current that will carry forward to places i have never dreamed of when i first made the decision
the last 4 or so lines are random lines from different notes i made earlier on and i am just recycling them now.
Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly) - Viva la Vida, are two albums that i am listening to day in and day out. and as the days keep progressing the next cycle of change has also been set forth. mid summer is up next and soon the days will start getting shorter.
but then before all this sets in. to celebrate the proper mid summer, heading up north to appreciate the day/days when the sun will never set(above the arctic circle). heading to Rovaniemi by train and from there by car to Alta, Hammerfest and Nordkapp. under the ever present sun(if the weather remains clear), driving on open roads with fjords and sea by the side. photos i have seen of the route already give me a impression the landscape would be something i have already seen and been in awe of( similar to Iceland, but not quite like it though). with the two albums to give company and my trusty camera, i hope to become the feather from “forrest gump” just floating about the wilderness finding a temporary refuge only in the tents and sleeping bags when camping to get past the need for some sleep.
