There's something I've been wanting to say for some time, but have not been able to conjure the wit and intelligence to do it justice. This unventilated sentiment waylayed for so long yields raw emotions now bordering on the dramatic. But nevertheless, until I spit this thing out, I fear I shall chafe inwardly for all eternity if, for no other reason, because I refuse to be the murderous villain of a spritely piece of soul that wants nothing more than to be free in the world. I think that giving voice to fleeting passions lends credence to a piece of humanity that ought not to be left unattended, but making something tangible out of a smithereen of your own God-given spirit is an art, a fascinating, exhilerating challenge. So, I've dreamed up an idea and can not quite put it to use, and it's trapped inside myself like a taunting germ. It's compellingly effectual, but who's to know it when it cannot be seen or heard? That is the dilemma, the unmitigable, enigmatic, perplexity of self expression.

So what is your dream? What do you want to do?
ReplyDeleteI don't think effectual is the right word to use there, bu I can't find a replacement. The meaning is right for what I wanted to say, but I don't like it. I had a philosophical opinion that I wanted to share, I told you about it. It had to do with the power & infuence of movies. It never came together & I lost it. It was making my brain hurt. The feeling is still there. I'm sure it will resurface. I just need to rewatch a documentary I saw about the film industry & then watch Hugo & it ill come to me.
