Poetic Justice...

I have a strange sense of deja vu...except in the deja vu my room was the other way round...but circumstances were the same...I was watching smallville and typing something on my computer...well admittedly that's most days...to my shame.
I've got box-set fever. Isn't that what life boils down to? Mundane jobs, dvd box-sets of a life we always wanted and dreams of a life less ordinary.
It shouldn't have to...but...how on earth do we morph the mundane to the purposeful? Can just being a credible person in a workplace be a supernatural feat?
I want to paint. Not with a brush on a canvas. But with a pen on paper. I want to capture peoples imaginations and help them dream. I want to see natural beauties and then share them with anyone who cares to read.
When in Zoolander the blondie woman says that an aboriginal said that a picture steals part of your soul. Is that why the pen is mightier than the sword?
Here's an exercise that maybe I'll take up in private of taking a photo and then just writing about it...trying to incarcerate (you see the thing I have with words is that I'm not sure what they mean but I pick up on words in conversation and then try and put them in context in a series of trial and error moments of...genius) the image within a readers mind....


This is a journey that I want to embark upon. I want to travel. I want to go to Paris, Devon, Moscow, Kenya, the Grand Canyon, Sydney and New Zealand.
I have many pictures to paint. I have many things to sort along the way. I want to go sit on a beach with my camera and a pad of paper.
I have this feeling that there is a vision that God has for me to run with. And I want to go and spend some time chasing the heart of God.
I've been putting together a little plan of the next year or so. And I'm not going to tell you what it is as I think that it's something I need to keep to myself.

So...Lana Lang huh?
