Thoughts at 5:30 a.m.

A person told me today that I couldn't change the world. Upon the discussion of cars, environmental science, and the worth of our earth, he denied that any person could stand up to the government and the people with money and truly be heard and make change. I was shocked to find a person who has such little faith in mankind. Immediately, I made myself heard. I elucidated my passion for the camaraderie of brothers and sisters of the world. People have so much more power than they think they do, and those that refuse to believe in change are the very ones that are helping continue the decay of the interwoven fibers of our society. I will make change in my life and my surroundings. I couldn't imagine being inside of myself so much that I couldn't reach to those near me. Though I often say that I dislike people, it is only those like minded to this boy that I truly have difficulty bonding with. By the end of our talk, he told me that I may have a shot at making a change as long as I keep pressing hard at full aptitude.

Love Oceanic.

I write poems in my head and forget the words
I forget about submersion and subversion
I forget about my gills,
All of my, "will you live me still?"s.

I do know that I want to be deeply under the sea
Far from the people and usage of trees;
To absorb the water into my skin
To swim with the fishes without any end.

Could you handle this depth?
Far below our familiar paces.
Under the bridges and swift passing faces.
We could slow us down, float in this viscosity,
But please promise to never slip away from me.

If you like it more sweet, we can skip the seas.
We could run to the river with just as much ease.
Bare with me, please, if I can't stand the pollution.
I may escape once more,
For sludge is the worst retribution.

So hold your breath,
Because I am now going in.
Watch me sink, sink, sink
Never to return again.
(unless you will come with, my friend)

Thinking about our heads. Incomplete.

I remember learning a long time ago that people only use about 10% of their brain daily. I've always wondered if ancient people had the capability to use all of their brain, and if this connected them to god or enabled them to live longer. I have similarly wondered if people with lower intelligence use less of their brain than those that are considered smarter, or if they use the same percentage less of the time.

What would happen if 100% brain activity was reached? How much of my brain do I use personally in a day? I learned once that symmetry increases lobe connectivity and brain function. There are pictures and exercises you can view and practice that make you FEEL the hemispheres of your brain fusing. The pictures are high resolution shots of nature that are naturally symmetrical. They then cut the image and apply split symmetry vertically to form a perfect and nearly naturally symmetrical looking image. It seems like a simple picture, how could something like a symmetrical picture of nature connect your left and right brain?


In this case it is the perfect combination of left and right brain activity, from the logical predictability of the symmetry, as well a the high resolution images attracting the artistic and imaginative right hemisphere.
