“The Blog that Never Was, Yet”

“entirely up to me to fill this void with something”

No this isn’t what it appears to be.  Yes it is a world of “both shadow and substance; a place of things and ideas,” where the only limit of what is possible is that of your own imagination.  But, what happened today was so interesting that in order to Blog about it I would have to proceed into the future perhaps only a day from now so that I could just as inexplicably having to travel in time forward, I would then be taking a trip backward to now so that I could try my best to explain what this unknown Blog is about or whether it actually is a Blog;  because it might only be a figment of your imagination or more aptly my imagination that you happen to be a part of because I want you to be!  I could like a sketch artist take an eraser and just wipe away any trace of your having been here in the first place; then it would be “entirely up to me to fill this void with something” that is greater than you not being here, but yet less than if you will be arriving tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.  Imagine if you will that I’m not really writing this Blog now but will be in the future so that we in today, actually in the here and now, when the Blog will be just what we could have imagined it would be, if we knew it really existed tomorrow when I travel back to now to actually write the Blog.  For now let’s just wait and see what happens, perhaps in which case this may or may not be anything but a Blog that never was, but could have been.  Time will tell….

The Now Became the Future in Order to Merge with the Past

Yes Indeed, “The Blog that Never Was, Yet Is!”   And Indeed “Time is Telling!”  

In the Cloud.jpg “Here I am;” I just passed through that wispy whimsical wishy-washy realm  of shadow and substance a transitional place where matter and time are one with energy, directly entering into uncharted territory and yes now that I stepped backward from the future perhaps only a day some may say, but nonetheless I’ve traveled through the Quadric Variances of time space continuum’s gossamer  fabric,  that thin veil between the past, present, and future which maintains the endless stream by which we all travel to our ultimate destination; that one final stop out there in the vast beyond  where all things must inevitably converge, in “The Twilight Zone.”

We’ve all heard the adage “if I could only go back” and do what I should have, or “don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today.”  But, consider if you will that I may very well have done both simultaneously giving me the opportunity of “having my cake and eating it too!”

I’m sure some of you may by now be feeling a bit perplexed and asking yourselves where is this going and why all of this “mumbo jumbo;” to which I say, of course I don’t want to leave you hanging in thin air or even worse beginning to feel any despair, so I’ll strip away any sense of formality or convention and tell you how I only wanted to complete an article of my choosing yesterday, extracted from a stream of thoughts and feelings I was having, but according to our standard of keeping time the day was shot and so too was I.  Not shot in the literal sense thank God, but nearly burnt toast!  So the prospect of my having any substantive work completed by the “stroke of midnight” was slim to none to say the least, and so out of sheer desperation and a clear cut desire to have completed a novel piece of literary extrapolation of my deepest thoughts and perhaps even revelation, I became quite inspired when the proverbial light bulb lit up in my head and suddenly practically out of nowhere the problem was solved; yes an answer to a prayer had arrived which would release me from this self-imposed dilemma of not having enough time to accomplish what I felt I must before the start of the next day!

I decided that the very first thing that popped into my head would be the starting point of doing today what I could, even if it be only a fraction of what would be the final work I could at least have that beginning point which I could later come back to here as I am now to complete, a kind of juxtaposition and merging of my yesterday with today, but in the end result the entirety of what was yet to be, would all be; in that convenient place of yesterday.

Dates do mean something, and in my case here yesterday’s date meant everything which is another story.  Did I in a sense escape my past only to return to it promptly so as to finish things left unsaid allowing me to move on to more profitable enterprises, after all who wants to be haunted by their past if they don’t have to be!  Now “here am I,” smiling in the present! 😉

Now; Time  for some Serious Cake!!! 😜

The Dream About the Cliff and Desserts

This is a scene within a scene within a dream.

I just woke from a dream in which I was chumming around with Steven Spielberg overlooking some trees on a cliff, like a photo I’d seen comes to think of it. And, he had a child with him that he placed on one of the trees overlooking the cliff. The child then got much smaller and was clinging to the tree branches for dear life while trembling and I couldn’t stand seeing that, so I reached for the child and said, “Here you come with me and I’ll hold you keeping you safe from falling!” I hate heights myself and yet I was so strong and wanting to help the child!  Then Steven said, “It’s good for him;” but I disagreed, saying “that kind of shocking someone that way is never good, it injures one’s mind!” Then it was like a jump cut I was hours later asking for Steven and no one knew where he was but he had to be afoot, because there were all kinds of film crew going about their chores getting ready for the shoot, and I wanted to find Steven in the biggest way to tell him I had a great idea to incorporate in the film I’m putting together! Then, I saw two lovely younger ladies that I knew sitting together looking so precious and beautiful, and sitting on the table before them were scrumptious slices of pies and cake, just delectable desserts! I went over and put my arm around each of them as many other girls on the set watched; and I knew they were because I was the new guy or kid on the block! I wanted them to see that these ladies knew me and trusted me as they all should and that I know what I’m doing, so when I ask for Steven don’t give me any hog wash! Then one of the young ladies took a mouthful of a pie and it was so delicious, she was overjoyed and almost in ecstasy, and I said, “Aha its whipped cream pie isn’t it!”
