• January 25, 2008 - Returning to themes

Posted in Visual Musings






In many ways we lead our lives in
themes -- a theme is "a unifying idea that is a recurrent element."  Ask yourself, "what are the recurrent themes in my life?"

In our dreams we often return over and over to a few or several familiar themes.  People who journal about their dreams will find it easier to become aware of the main themes of their dreams.  Ask yourself, "What are the recurrent themes in my dreams?"


Our favorite bloggers often post on the same theme, one that is their preference about which to write.  "Margaret" at Margaret's Wanderings makes and posts  "Postcards" such as these.  Ask yourself, "What are the recurrent themes about which my "bookmarks" write?"


I belong to a social network called scrap paper.  I write poetry and I make scrapbooks and I am a photographer.  Here is a poem from Scrapbook.com that combines all three activities.  To quote: The Strangers In The Box

  Author:     Pam Harazim       
 
     Come, look with me inside this drawer
In this box I've often seen
At the pictures, black and white
Faces proud, still and serene.

I wish I knew the people
These strangers in the box
Their names and all their memories
Are lost among the socks.

I wonder what their lives were like,
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.

If only someone would have taken time,
To tell who, what, and when,
Those faces of my heritage
Would come to life again.

Could this become the fate
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories
Someday to be tossed away.

Make time to save your pictures
Seize the opportunity when it knocks
Or someday you and yours could be
The strangers in the box.

Returning to the theme of "Themes,"  ask yourself, "what is the thread, the unifying element, that runs through  my dreams, my on-line reading and my day to day activities?"  The answers to this question will enhance your self-awareness.  And you will be more "mindful" as a result.


Myth is the public dream, and dream is the private myth. - Joseph Campbell


My topical post today at South by Southwest and The Reaction is about the mainstream media.

About Me

Andre Breton says, "I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams. Man is above all the plaything of his memory."
