i would like to fulfill my own personal legend. i would like to unlock the door to the recesses of my own soul, my subconscious mind, my whatever it is that is beyond mere linguistic expression. i would like to find down there, amongst dusty chapters or age old myths, a huge, ancient key - slightly rusty and ominous looking. what's in there? a story-board outline of a life, a techni-colour painting depicting the overarching themes? perhaps a simple word - one word, summarising all that i will strive to achieve. or perhaps i will find nothing there - a pure, empty shell where once a legend lived. is jung correct? do we all know instinctively why we're here as young ones, but then forget progressively as we age? and never forget the 'giving up point'. to forget is to live a half-life.
and so, a prayer to peace and to love. to the part of the personal legend in playing it's unique solo in the universes most awesome orchestra...!
