"...i don't know..." post in Ashley Marie Wade blog

...i don't know...
im sitting and thinking
thinking about nothing and everything
jumbled, mixed-up thoughts racing around

my head
mass-confusion
cant quite grasp the concept of what thought is coming and going

im biting the inside of my mouth
not really a habit
just happens to me sometimes
kind of addictive---cant really stop

im sitting
sitting and thinking
thinking about nothing and everything
cant help it
still racing around----traffic jam

i can feel my body
it starts to shake
not alot but alittle

add some music to the mix
i can hear it but am i really paying attention?
my thoughts are racing
bumping and twisting
trying to maneuver around it all

my eyes move around
attempting to grasp my surroundings
not entirely successful
cant focus
my eyes move around

im eating the inside of my mouth
starts to hurt after a whie
a tolerable pain
a maintained pain
an easily controlled pain
one i know how far i can go with
one i know too well

my body shakes
but again only alittle
my vision starts to blur
but then comes back into focus
my head spins from all that is going on
and i try to sort through it

i listen to music
and i really listen
i try to unerstand
but whats to understand?

what amazing concept are we trying to figure out here?
the concept of life?
love?
the probability of loss?
heartache?

we, as human beings, will eventually experience every emotion
everything results from nothing
one door closes so another must open
opportunities come and go but you still have the choice

people.
how easy they're susceptible to even the smallest amount of feeling
to care for one another..
to comfort them..
to caress..
to even hate..

a multitude of emotion with the indefinate severity pertaining to each one

alot of emotion to acknowledge
even more time to experience them
live life to the fullest
dont waste one second

dont regret
dont pester yourself with constantly having to ask "what if..."
constantly wishing you would have done that one thing
living in regret is no way to live

live for the moment
experience anything and everything there is
have fun
dont waste one second

i feel my heart beat
the small trembles of my body
the grumbles you get from your stomach for when it needs to be fed

i continue to sit on my bed and listen to my music
i listen and i think
i think about what it would be like to be care-free
to not have a single problem to deal with
to be content with life and have it feel the same for you

if only life were that simple though....

cease the winds from the west

cease the winds from the south

let the breezes blow soft over the hills

ket the gentle winds blow soft over the waves

with the touch of the morning frost..........welcome in the sneeze of a brand new day

old maori verse.......Val

dear ashley,
happy new year, friend. don't know why i did not read this wonderful poem/song earlier. it is strong, sensitive and deep--i too try to live the way you propose--fully and without intellectualizing all real experience. real experience just happens--the best is to grab it when it comes, and keep oneself ready for it to happen--without rtegret, but with all the sensitivity, passion and hope one is capable of.
sorry if this sounds too much philosophy this early in the year--but i know you will understand. your poem tells me so.
best, sam/photostyle
