Just a quote I like
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
-Carl Jung-
This is one of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite Psychologists, a man I think who was ahead of his time but so damn accurate about our animal instincts that lie like primal beasts deep within us.
Have you ever met some one who you feel so connected to in a way that you have never been connected to with another person in your whole life, some one who understands your depth and primal desires with out ever having met them? But knowing that the only reason you get that is because through the computer you can let your self be that part of you that you just can't be in life. Its amazing to me that you Joy said that in your post today about just knowing you can open a web page and find Samara (Sanskrit word for like mindedness), and find a bond with people you have never met.
Is it because we allow ourselves to be who we really are in a way we can't be outside for fear of getting swallowed up by the constant barrage of sorrow and suffering we get in the real world? That over time we have gotten so good at protecting ourselves and settling for what is instead of what is unknown, do we trust the process that little now?
I get so tired of playing it safe or being on my guard some times it takes so much work it seems yet I'm seemingly powerless to not do it. Damn those sub conscious defence mechanisms do they ever stop trying to protect us from our past, will we ever let them?
I shared my poetry with a friend tonight that I feel that undescribable connection to and it felt good to share a hidden part of myself again, which isn't some thing I've done for a long, long time. I made myself vunerable what a strange feeling.

"I made myself vunerable what a strange feeling."
Im not so sure if what we are doing here is being more open with our true selves, though to some degree I am sure that a lot who choose this venue are. That is a magnificant Jung quote though, he was definately and defiantly a man before his time.
I really hate quoting music to reflect peoples feelings. But this paragraph is too perfect to pass up.
'Prison gates wont open up for me
On these hands and knees Im crawlin
Oh, I reach for you.
Im terrified of these four walls
This iron box cant hold my soul at all
And all I need is you
Come please, Im callin
And all I scream for you
Hurry, Im fallin'
Show me what its like
To be the last one standin
Teach me wrong from right
And Ill show you what I can be
Say it for me, say it to me
And Ill leave this life behind me
Say it if its worth saving me
Heavens gates wont open up for me
With these broken wings Im fallin
All I see is you
These city walls aint got no love for me
Im on the ledge of the eighteenth story.
Show me what its like
To be the last one standin
Teach me wrong from right
And Ill show you what I can be
Come please Im callin
Say it for me, say it to me
And Ill leave this life behind me
Say it if its worth saving me
Hurry, Im fallin.'

We all desire to have someone listen to us, but beyond that we want someone to actually hear what we say. I hear every word I read here, I hear it as if spoken to me in a conversation. And it makes a difference in my life. This is why I like blogspot as opposed to myspace, a lot more adult conversation here, a lot more care and friendships imo.
And for you personally, if you ever fall and feel the need to call, I am here.
Funny how some times music seems to make so much sense isn't it.
When I was out for my walk this morning (ya after like 3 hours of sleep) I was listening to U2 on my I Pod Miracle Drug was the name
I wanna trip inside your head, spend the day there. To hear the things you haven't said see what you might see. I wanna hear you when you call, do you feel any thing at all, I wanna see your thoughts take shape and walk right out.
The silence and the human heart there is no limit, there is no failure here sweet heart just when you quit.
Those are two versus that seem to sum things up for me nicely today.
Peace

Unfortuantly far too many people keep themselves locked inside themselves. While I have had the chance to meet people who seemed to be inside my own head it is a rare thing. I believe that if we could all get over the fear of being hurt then we'd find that like the old line we're really not that differant after all.
