Coffee Talk by Jack

I'm not too sure how many have ventured out of the city or the suburbs and take in nature in a rural setting but today I did. As I have this new camera there are many things that I wish to do which at times would include a photo journal if that is what we call it.
I ventured out to the cottage today and while en route with a one hour drive, when I turned off the main highway, I was then driving on gravel. It always reminds me of when I was a kid, and the family would all pack up from the east coast and come back to where my "roots" were from. It's interesting how things from my childhood come back to me with something so small as the feel of driving on a gravel road. What still to this day amazes me is when thirty minutes out of the city - how things change so quickly. Urban life into a vast land of the countryside. While driving during the summer you have a view of five miles ahead of you, a mirage takes place. Today that took place and if you have not seen it, it's an optical illusion that takes place. And on the main highway I could see for easily two miles.
Then the turn onto the gravel road and on each side the crops were well near harvesting, but what was so interesting was just being out there. I have not been to the cottage for a year and that's another story, but it's a place I love to go and hang out and jet ski. But I was just heading out to take some pictures. I wanted to tap into something.
While driving the idea of the past, the future and dreams come together. This is what I intended to do today. Aside waking up early and thinking it was Sunday. It was Saturday and a great one. I thought about so many areas of what can be. While pulling over going to the cottage and returning from it this concept of dreams stayed with me. Several different thoughts seemingly came into play during this venture - realistic dreams, nature, they cycle of crops.

I don't think that I came to any conclusion, yet just doing it - gave way to something obtained in some manner. And I am glad that I did.
Who can't dream? Is there an age limitation to dreams and goal. I really don't think so. For a world without dreams is a stagnate routine. And I truly believe that dreams are different to each and everyone of us, but we all do dream, and not just while sleeping.
Dreams are what life is about. But within the dreaming of what I desire - its partially the process of creating and making the dream/goal happen, while primarily doing something that you enjoy. Sometimes our subconscious brings about secondary thoughts that intertwine and foster some sort of creativity as well and reflections - that can be productive.

I know nothing about farming, but if a farmer can withstand good years and bad years and continue to farm. Perhaps a farmer lives and works based on dreams/goals as well. As each and every year it's all based on nature. If it rains at the right time - there will be a good crop and if it's completely dry, he has to plan for the long run so that he can keep his land. If he didn’t plan out for the long term - he would be bankrupt. Somewhere within this venture I found that dreams are substantial. However, when one wishes to make a dream worth going for it takes action not just the comfortable thoughts - but both are what we do each and every day.
As we have more than 60,000 thoughts that take place each and every day. I ponder on what percentage is placed within the "art" of embarking on dreams.

~ First Writing on Multiply ~

Well this is the first time I have had to actually post anything. I find that the transition to this new blogging site is indeed something of a change. But then again change is good. I have never seen so much frustration with people that were used to one platform of blogging. But sometimes that is the way it goes.

I have yet to understand how to configure this without getting all post to my email. So I am working on that and with a coffee at hand. It's a little bit of worke - but we can do. This.

What I have found is there is an array of people on here that are from many different blogs. And for myself, I think in many ways this could be a good thing.

So I am back to trying to configure this so that it's all in place and hopefully it shall workout.

Why Not,

Jack

~ Changes and Adaptations ~

Well this is definately something new. As yahoo is not not watching over gliches I did not think that there would be changes as such.  And this is different however it's a change to what we are used to. It's a change for me as I wish to work on my Y360, but dont want to have everything corrupted upon my return to it. 

So this is a change.

I have yet to figure out everything on here however I have one day to do so, but I am going to look at this and see if it's something of value. I had so many sending me invites with this coupled with the yahoo team indicating this is the one to go for.  It seems nice and I think for many it's going to be a change. I have never done more than one blog aside from a photography one that a blending into here. All I wish to do is to get a nice texture and then it's here as a shell from which to write.

Peace,

Jack
