An accomplished week, and an experiment to look forward too.

Hello readers.

Well I have to say i've enjoyed this week. Back at uni, saw all my old friends...more days off this week. Good stuff.

Iv'e blogged a lot lately. A reflection and 2 poems. I hope you read them and comment, I like to know if you think theyre good or rubbish..or any opinion is appreciated.

I've set up a second blog. The '30 day experiment' (Go to my profile and check it subscribe, or click this link http://30daysofexperiment.blogspot.com/ ).

#1 The Field II

The Field II

Beware the long and open field,
For I am long gone,
A dark and sinister air,
Where the sun had once shon.

I am no longer waiting,
The time has now passed,
You were never to appear,
‘Forever’ did not last.

Thunder breaks the sky,
It is here to warn,
A deep white mist,
Above the fields of corn.

The trees now broken statues,
The air cold and thin,
A patch of worn grass,
I no longer sit in.

Poison and hatred,
Fill this eerie place,
See the broken surroundings,
See my broken face.

The evil stalk the field,
Looking for their prey,
Will they succeed in my failure,
And find you some day.

For you will be helpless,
No shelter or shield,
You arrived too late,
At the long and open field.

Poem #1 The field

The Field

A long and open field,
That is where I’ll be,
The green open surroundings,
That is where you will see me.

I will wait for you there,
From dusk to dawn,
I will wait for you always,
In the fields of corn.

The breeze is gentle here,
How I wish you could feel it,
The trees sway freely,
Underneath them, I always sit.

It is lonely here,
Yet I feel so alive,
The air makes my mind clear,

How I wish you were here.

Will you ever appear?
Whisper it, my lips are sealed,
Only the birds and trees will hear you,
In the long and open field.

Inspiration

For my first reflective blog, I had a long hard think about what I find quite easy to talk about. And so here we have it: Inspiration.

I was about 10 years old when I was first inspired. I felt a tingly sensation all over and a determination crossed my mind. I wanted to do something, I felt powerful and felt that the world was opening up for me, or rather, I could conquer the world.

What happened to inspire me? It may seem a bit silly, but, watching Rocky 4.

Mainly the fight scene at the end, watching this gruelling fight, with the instrumentals, and the overcoming adversity and pain etc. When Rocky won that fight and he converted all of the Russians to his side, and then he gave that speach about 'Ey, if you can learn to love' or something like that, it was quite touching.

I remember I bought some boxing gloves and started to punch a wall.

As I grew older, I found myself in a bit of a slump, I would see the negative side of everything, I was very pesimistic and felt hard done by by life. Why didn't girls like me? Why didn't the 'cool' people talk to me. Why wasnt I being recognised. And I realised, only I can put myself out there, and only I can change my life, and start enjoying it, rather than feeling so hard done by.

I read a book, The Alchemist (El Alquemista) by Paulo Coelho that really changed my outlook on life.Since that book, I've managed to see inspiration in so many things.

The world inspires me, on a hot day with a slight breeze, the rustle of the trees, the birds singing.
People inspire me, people who have come from nothing, people at the very top, the consistant champions. Champions of sport, life. My friends are champions to me, I admire them all for various reasons and they inspire me very much and I am eternally grateful for these friends.

Inspiration will always be a re-curring theme in all of the things I do and all of the actions I make. I am inspired, and I enjoy being inspired.

So now i'd like for you to comment.

What inspires you?

Thankyou for reading.

Casting quaters in to well's that hold our dreams..You won't believe me, I would if you told me so

I have been very low.

I have been down.

I have had a pasage of my life that I do not want to discuss. This is not out of dis-respect to anybody, more out of respect for my friend. I want to put it behind me now.

Lest we never forget.

But out of the darkness cometh light.

I'm back.

And it's time for a quote.

The better end of all to come
The truth be now here one by one
I am to you extend to none
The memory that fuels the fire
