Beyond reading your life

Wondering what it would be like to be in your shoes.
To be outside of this life and in someone else's.
How can we truly understand the world, ourselves..
When we merely only see through our eyes.
We may be able to experience different places and people.
But I want to actually feel something different.
Some place different.
Yet, I feel like that can only be accomplished in our dreams.
Mainly we read and hear about other lives.
But imagine if we could see the thoughts used that created that life.
How extraordinary beyond all belief to follow the process.
Of another life.
Rather than our own.

fresh thoughts care for

Photobucket

Spring and Fall: To a Young Child

Margaret, are you grieving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leaves, like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! as the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie.
And yet you will weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sorrow's springs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
It is the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.

Gerard Manley Hopkins
