Dreams Fantasies & Events

By: Kenneth Stepp

Three words. Mostly seen as good words. To me. They are simply interesting words. I doubt most get what I mean here. Many powerful words are interesting, not concrete. Love, and even travel, can be both good and bad. Always interesting though. Agree with me that life has it’s own guidance system and no matter what we do, we simply can’t do much about it. Life sometimes makes us respondents.

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget” – Arundhati Roy

Deep, right? Depth of thought is what I strive for. To not accept things as fact, just because others do. I have been vilified by closed minded people who believe “faith” trumps knowledge every time. Why? Because they have been taught to run from knowledge and judge anyone that doesn’t. I have had some of the meanest and ugliest things thrown at me “in the name of God”, than most could imagine. The worst is when they say they are compelled by “love” to do these things. I sense no love at all from them. Only judging. To each his own I guess. I’d rather lead with love than judgment. After all, that is what we were all told to do. I have learned, you can’t both love and judge. It cannot be done.

Dreams Fantasies and events. The dreams and fantasies are what happens while we are in control. The events happen and teach us about too much dreaming and fantasizing. At least that’s how my life rolls. I would love to leave you with more answers than questions. I’m simply not intelligent enough to pull it off. We live in a chaotic world and sometimes we just get in it’s way. Sometimes I feel I am walking on a busy expressway, dodging cars to get to the other side where I can relax for a moment. Some days I make it, some days I do not. It has nothing to do with my speed and agility. Just the luck of the draw. I might as well be blindfolded.
