I know the impossible.
I seek it.
I live it.
Sometimes, it finds me. Sometimes I find it. It doesn't matter. It's just the way it is. The impossible, is just another name for what hasn't been imagined yet. The reality of life is, THAT IT ISN'T REAL. We all interact in ways we can't fathom. Our understanding of truth is limited by our meager perceptions of culture, religion, upbringing and education. We can choose to rise above it or seek to submerge ourselves into our created beings.
It is the child that can take us to the ends of the universe and back. All we have to do, is take his/her hand into our own and let go. Poetry, free verse, and short fiction is a welcome escape from the harsh realities of daily lives. My dreams allow me "to boldly go where no man has gone before and if I want to I come back, I do."
This is an old cliche. We are spiritual beings on a material journey. Don't get overwhelmed by the shit. Enjoy the trip, and grow. Love unconditionally and allow yourself to be loved. Don't be afraid to take risks. Don't let your inner child die and let the 'best part' of you be your guide.

Will have to read more of your poems and see where the impossible took you?
One of my favorite sayings that I wrote was " To stand in understanding yet not understand!"
We know everything yet understand nothing at all.
Truly if we really looked at the reality of that truth.
We would see how truly lost in the vastness of it all that we really are.
Very good a very thought provoking write, taking the reader into the realms of the universe and back.
But me I would never want to come back.
Well maybe to taste the taste of fish and chips and a pint of beer.
Maybe that is the answer to it all?
Who knows usually the answer is the most simple yet we cannot see it.
You should try reading my poem, Heavens way it might agree with what you think?
Good luck thanks for the read!

NOT ignoring!!
Is this a freestyle write or a short story? I saw your note to ignore due to "ramblings of a demented mind on meds"..true write or fantasy? Whichever it was, it drew me into thought. Read the books of Carlos Castenada,(A Secret Reality) if you want a mind bending experience! Did like the story..good job!

Look forward to talking to you in the future. Believe it or not I discussed your critique with a poetic mentor and he will 'borrow' me the book you suggested on the expose of Don Juan and Carlos Casteneda. I hope to check out your work. Have a great day!
