Outside of the box

IN heaven (or in hell for that matter) while necessarily being OUT of your mind.

Music, dance, sex/food, art, drugs, religion, and insanity are some of the methods of going in through the out door.

The thought patterns, ideas, goals, and actions that I create throughout my LIFETIME are essentially my true dwelling places and can transcend any physical reality - good, bad, or in-between.
I, ultimately, depend on my mind alone to carry me through good times and bad times.

Are we ever truly understood, anyway?

While I strive to understand this existence and find my place in it, my greatest dream is to simply be myself, understood, not defined, and, therefore, not alone.
