Lesson from a mime.

Salam.

Being true to oneself until the end.
Commitment and dedication to who you are and what you represent.
To your essence.
To your being and what you stand for.

This post is a reminder to myself before I start on this journey.
Because the neuro-storm that is my mind is as beautiful and as terrible as the red spot of Jupiter.
The red spot of Jupiter is a terrible beauty, magnificent and malevolent, neutral and non-

discriminatory.
It doesn't care who you are, just like the hurricanes and typhoons on Earth do not care who you are.

So it is with the mind.
It wanders everywhere and wonders about everything and everyone with nary a care.

 

Hence, we are back to the mime.
Do I literally stay silence like the mime?
Or, do I stay true to my art and write?

 

Which lesson should I take heed?

 



Welcome to the rabbit hole...

Salam.

What will I blog about?

Anything that interest me.
Opinions on matters that are important and significant.
Matters that intrigue me, that draw my attention.
Social issues, political commentary, economics, religions, science & technology.
Science fact and science fiction.
Books reviews, food & travel reviews.
Movies & songs reviews and recommendation.
Maybe throw in some poetry writing.

About life in general.

This blog is also where I vent and let go.
And where I can be creatively crazy and weird and eccentric.
So, if you dare; welcome to the rabbit hole that is my mind.

Until next time.

Why a blog?

Salam.

Why start a blog?

Well, I will let Emeli Sande answer that for me.
(You can read the lyrics on screen while listening to her wonderful voice.)

Or you can watch it on youtube at this link.

I need to release the writer's bug in me.
To let the words inside my head out.
Enough thinking thoughts inside my head only.

Why not facebook, instagram, twitter?
Well, those are social app, not for writing down and sharing thoughts.

I hope people will read this blog.
But if not, I need to remember that in the end, the main reason to write is just to let the mind go.
To leave a legacy.
As Elsa said, "Let it go!".

Until next time.

Full lyrics below.

You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?
So come, on come on
Come on, come on
You've got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Baby we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away
Come on, Come on

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

At night we're waking up the neighbours
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we remember yeah
Cause we all matter too
If the truth has been forbidden
Then we're breaking all the rules
So come on, come on
Come on, come on,
Let's get the tv and the radio
To play our tune again
It's 'bout time we got some airplay of our version of events
There's no need to be afraid
I will sing with you my friend
Come on, come on

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices
So take a chance, come help me sing this
Yeah we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
And now we're finally finding our voices
So take a chance, come help me sing this
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it oh
