*sigh*Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.!.!.if the "wind" is of a self contained nature as in a tornado, for instance, the sandy thoughts may feel a heightened sense of drama and creativity, driven towards a goal!.!.!. an open wind does good to scatter sand-like thoughts around but they would not be lost, for the sandy thoughts would fly with freedom to touch others in their raw form!.!.!.I would not perceive either to be deadly!.!.!.they would be life giving and partial to increased awarenessWww@QuestionHome@Com

What right does the wind have to my atmospheric-thoughts that may have caused the winds to stir of its beginnings!?

1) Isn't the very winds of change that create the great dunes of perspective, and the safe harbor in its valley's!?!? I would challenge Yes, it is!.!.!.

2) Yet I dance around the very question don't I, "Do I FEEL the Deadly-winds!?"; I believe I begin to when I toy with thoughts of mortality to self and others!.!.!.and is that mortality mere illusion as theologians and great-avatars of past say it is!.!.!.or am I, you, all of us merely dust-in-the-wind!.!.!.!?

3) The mind that feels the deadly winds of the desert in the sand of its thoughts; is forced to a crossroads of sorts is it not!?

4) To the North, lies the path that only you know how to tread with all its falilures, mysteries, and successes that only you can claim responsibility for; To the East and West lie an insanity that others claim is the only way to deal and live with life; and though some fake their way in these perpendicular-lifestyles; if they were honest when asked "Are you passionate about your life" they would have to reply, somberly 'No'; Then there is the South-path, to back-track to retrace your steps to your origins and find comfort in the familiar, we do find solace in the familiar, do we not!?!? but then, when we become trapped in this comfort-of-all-comforts!.!.!.we are constantly haunted by the what-if's of the possiblibilities that could be had by traversing the northernly-root!.!.!.

5) Personally, I've been retracing my steps for sometime, and it may take the subtle urging of a fellow-traveler such as yourself, to wake me up to the direction I have been traveling!.!.!.though I'm to the point I don't chase the insane 'path' of other!.!.!.!.I do communcicate with those travelers, though there path is not mine!.

6) The mind that chooses to go North in creating it's own paths after feeling the deadly winds of the desert in the sand of its thoughts; is the part that can truly take pride in its choice, for though others call you insane yet later in years look back and see how much truth you brought to the world; will be haunted by the southern-thoughts of that part of the mind!.!.that can only say without any hint of partial-pride "IF only!.!.!.if only!.!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Grains of truth, like stars in the universe, neurons linking forming networks from cell to cell, grain to grain, thought to thought!.
The possible combination of every connection is infinite, & instantly, there is as much within the mind as there is outside it!.
A new world, a new reality, a new beginning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sometimes we need to figure out a way to harness the wind so that we can utilize its power, rather than just cowering from it!. There is beauty there -but we can't quite see it during the dust storm!. Ride out the storm and then try to figure out how you can use that force to your advantage (hopefully before the next dust storm)!.

well, it still is able to produce some philosophical words, obviously!.!.!. :)

but isn't a still mind, a peaceful mind wonderful!? we all love to sleep, because in deep sleep there are no toughts in the mind (only dreams are thoughts)!.!.!. the dreamless phases are the times when the body and mind can recover from all the worries that are going on in the mind day in and out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

And as the sand sifts through it's thoughts!.!.!.!.!.
the desert reveals a meadow!.!.!.!.painted with soft colored flowers!.!.!.!.caressed by a languid breeze!.!.!.!.soothing the aches and pains of everyday life!.!.!.!.!.!.and we can only imagine it's beauty!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
