I am dust particles in sunlight.
I am the round sun.
To the bits of dust I say, Stay.
To the sun, Keep moving.
I am morning mist,
and the breathing of evening.
I am wind in the top of a grove,
and surf on the cliff.
Mast, rudder, helmsman, and keel,
I am also the coral reef they founder on.
I am a tree with a trained parrot in its branches.
Silence, thought, and voice.
The musical air coming through a flute,
a spark of stone, a flickering in metal.
Both candle and the moth crazy around it.
Rose, and the nightingale lost in the fragrance.
I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
the evolutionary intelligence, the lift, and the falling away.
What is, and what isn't.
You who know, Jelaluddin,
You the one in all, say who I am.
Say I am you.

I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too
Hello 2010!
Wow, before i even knew it, this site has already been alive for the past year..
Without further ado, i would like to wish everybody a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Hehe.. But I feel like doodling something else related to an article i read awhile ago http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Lifestyle/Story/STIStory_477251.html. Too bad you people cant right click on this site.. LOL!!
Yeah, the article mainly relates to reality versus a world inside your own mind. The article speaks about the post-effects of watching the movie "Avatar" in which the lingering feeling of awesomeness just doesnt seem to fade away.
In my opinion, this condition also exists among other mediums of entertainment such as books, comics, drugs, computer games etc in which a person becomes too engrossed in the imaginary world. When you cant have enough of it, you will face depression. This term is coined as addiction. And any form of addiction always has its negative side effects.
This is also a problem that i think i might be facing and so do many others. The gateway experience that you derive from these activities makes you not give a heck about anything else in the world. The ideal world is non-existent. Cruelty, backstabbing and cheating is the real world that we are in.. but there always is hope.
Maybe i should get off this keyboard and start opening my books! Exam in 3 weeks! If only i could get addicted to studying.. Sigh. I need more dopamines!
