Come on try a little, nothing is forever, there's got to be something better than in the middle....


What is outside the window when I look away?
Does the world exist when I close my eyes?
The earth belongs to me and my imagination...

Does sound still echo when I am out of range?
Can you still sing if my ears are closed?
I only hear what I want to, and I love the sound of your voice....

Do the berries still sweet if I don't taste them?
What do you perceive through the buds of my tongue?
No flavor is ever the same way twice...

Is the bark of the tree rougher on your fingertips?
Will everything fall apart if I touch existence to hard?
My world is in my mind and nothing can destroy it...

Does the rain carry the gentle scent to you as well?
Is the smell of earth as gratifying?
Nothing is so good as the aromatic ways of nature....



The great thing about the world is that it is never the same between two people. Everything is different and it's very rare that anyone will ever share a sensation in the same way. I love the way that I can savor a feeling or a taste or a smell and know that no one will ever have that same experience ever again.


I want to go travel the world. I want to have all the different tastes and sights and smells go through my mind and enjoy them like I've never had before. I want to know what the world is like in all the different corners. I want to explore the earth in a totally selfish way and take all of it in. I want to see the hills of Ireland, the waves in Australia, the plains of Africa. I want to hold the whits sands of the beaches of Costa Rica, let it slip through my fingers. I want to feel the air in the mountains.


I've always wanted to sit in the window frame of a moving car just to feel the wind in my hair. Just the speed alone is exciting. I don't like to drive as much as I like the passenger seat, because so much of the world is passed by when you're behind the wheel. From the right hand side you can watch anything you want and take it in as you feel like it. I like moving at my own pace and seeing the world as I want to, even if it tends to go by in a blur.
