Summer Blues

So it's been a while. I can't say I've been extremely busy; I just have haven't felt like blogging much.
So this is all old news, but I did very well in my Bridging Program course @ UofT, so it looks like I'm heading to UofT full-time in the fall.

It's kind of scary, really. Thousands of dollars and many years to get a liberal arts degree... Well, it gives me something to do, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at UofT so far. Made a bunch of friends who are all really cool. So I'm sure it's worth it in the end.

I have to pick my courses soon. I've decided on most of them (Into to Poli Sci, Intro to Philosophy, Intro to Environment Studies, random seminar course and probably Sociology). And I'm excited about being busy on campus.

So far, this summer has been pretty blah. I haven't been doing much. Haven't really been hanging out with people. Just thinking about my future, mostly, and doing yoga every other day. I should be doing more, and doing more would probably make me feel better, but I've sunken down into my old recluse ways. It's not healthy.

I should probably get a haircut.
I hate haircuts.

The sleep conundrum

As I write these words, I await the soothing comforting feeling that Passiflora incarnata and Lady's Slipper will provide me.

The sleep realm awaits and I wonder what I will find there. It is mind-boggling when you think about all the images that are created by your brain every single night when you dream. What is their purpose? Are you supposed to interpret the images to help you in your waking life? Or are they merely there to distract you from the dullness of unconsciousness? Maybe they allow us to connect into the collective consciousness, like quantum particles resonating with each other through the folds of space and time.

Sleep must never elude me, for when it does, I will no longer be.

Equine love

I am the Kaleidoscope of the mind
I impart light, colour and perpetual motion
I think, I see, I am moved by electric fluidity
Constant only in my inconstancy, I am unshackled by mundane holds, unchecked by sturdy binding goals
I run unimpeded through virgin paths
My spirit unconquered; my soul forever free

I am the horse.
