LETTERS TO THE UNIVERSE

     




                                                 DEAR UNIVERSE 

Im watching the movie YOU'VE GOT MAIL.... and all i want to do is find a email buddy....laughing at the thought nw but it sounds so romantic and cosy and wonderful to be able to speak with a stranger about life's upheavals without the fear of the complications of meeting this person in real life for we all know the hell some relationships can bring be it friendship or anything else. I find the dialogue writer in this movie to be a master manipulator of words and he or she, i have yet to reach the end to read the credits...manages to add to the script feelings...of curiousity, of love of warmth....like sipping hot tea on a cold damp day, much like today. But since its impossible to find Tom Hanks in real life, ive decided to write random notes to THE UNIVERSE...so here goes :-)

As a writer i feel uninspired at times as most writers do and i was thinking the other day about what inspires me besides my feelings and emotions. Today i realise i am also inspired by certain movies and by books. As a child i was fed a daily diet of movies and off course i read anything and everything i could lay my hands on. At night i would weave an intricate plot around the original movie plot, imagining myself the heroine who finds her lost love. Sooo want to laugh now, but i recall spending many years growing up in this dreamworld. With knights in shining armour,...heroes from the acting world of course...coming to rescue me and take me away to land of bliss and love. Then you get hit with reality in a big way and that part of you gets lost in a world of changing nappies and night feeds and finally thirty years later...voila....im back in that magical land of dreams and wishes and splendidly written books that draw me into a web of wishes and wants and this time there is no knight in shining armour to wait for....i rescue myself and blog....LOL....

In childhood these daydreams were an escape from the reality of life back then. Now its a fantastic tool for manifestation....and i use it on long flights...when im lying awake at 3am...during my morning runs on the beach....and many times i just zone out in the middle of a boring conversation. Imagination is amazing. never let go of your daydreams. Its a fun and exciting world. Speaking of which....in this weeks episode of the tv show PERCEPTION...the hero goes into a virtual world..an online game. While there he moves about in his avatar...his alternate persona created by himself before he starts the game and i found it to be so AWESOME!! One can be whoever one wants in this alternate world...look amazing, meet amazing people, be amazing with no restrictions and shortcomings of the real world. wow i would just LOVE to be in this game :-)

I digress from my original post as i have forgotten what it is exactly i began writing about.....aaahhhhhh letters to the universe. 

Dear universe.... i had a great time writing this...watching the movies you send and reading those marvelous books. Thank you so much and am looking forward to more beautiful stuff and off course to your reply

love
