The power of knowing...

Would we be better off not knowing the things we do? At least the things that have pierced us the most. The truth is we cannot change what we know or predict what we will find out tomorrow. One thing I know for sure, not knowing certain facts would certainly aleviate my pain and put my heart at ease. I don't want to change the fact that I learned about these things, but I wish they were not what they came to be.

The noise, the echoes in my head that keep thundering away the powerful truth that can be defeaning and disturbing to say the least. Music always put me at rest or in a state of coma from life's horrible facts, so much to to point that I forget, remember and ignore all at once if that is even possible. The voice of the soul keeps reaching in.

Through the music that brings memories back to the here and now although way burried in the past or hidden in a most desirable future. The posibilities and the what if? do present themselves very appealing and enchanting because they come wrapped within the illusion of what we want them to be. If the magical journey could have no end, leaving no traces of where we're going or where we've been. It's only in that very secret place of our imagination that attaches itself so cohesively to the true desires and wantings of our soul marching in parallel to our dreams.

Don't stop, keep walking the path of solitude and joy for there we find the company of the friendly souls that will always be with us since it is in our thoughts that we control them all. No need for argument or disagrement is what we want, need and crave, all together in our magical place. So I say that knowing I can not evade, but if I choose to not acknowledge don't blame it on me. Just know that at times I rather be the blind walking soul that leaves no footprints...
