I
learned a lot about inspiration from listening to what inspired Keith
Dorrington. Hearing him talk about seeing Micky punching a bag in snowy weather
and Dicky training him as an ex-drug addict. Keith said that the hard work Micky
and Dicky displayed that day in the snow was what inspired him to write. He was
also inspired by the strength and will-power of Dicky to over come his drug
addiction. It seemed to me that Keith was very proud of the brothers for
uniting and trying to make a comeback after all they had been through as far as
fighting with their family and Dicky struggling with addiction. I think this
feeling of proudness was what inspired Keith to write.
Trippe
Reineman – Post from Day 1
Interpretation
of Salvadore Dali's painting, "The Persistence of Memory" (that
famous droopy clock painting)
"What
are dreams made of?" we wonder.
Is
it sleep; restful, peaceful and deep?
Perhaps
it is just an exhausted mind that needs to slumber.
Or
maybe, just maybe, dreams are our other blanket
That
we like to hide under.
What
are dreams if not escape from reality?
Where
else can we go to run from our father,
A
father who reminds us of our own brevity.
Father
time, alive but never truly living;
A
selfish man, always taking and never giving.
So
what are dreams if not a respite?
Shades
to pull down over our plight?
Our
chance to defy all that we know,
a
chance to relinquish all that we owe.
The
laws of nature seem to split at the seam,
for
who is our master once in a dream?
A
sea extends into nothingness, fading into the sky
And
the concept of time itself is left hung out to dry.
Love the poem, Trippe. Awesome reflection on Time.
