Part I - Please Hurry, We are about to Start

These are the first words of what could be an expanded repertoire of endless ideas and their associated metaphors. A beginning of an end that may come too soon or far later than it should have. All is dependent on how many eyes search these phrases and sentences for coherent thought and their partnered inspiration. I could tell you I hope to deliver or I could say I will deliver, but the judge will most likely be temperaments that may rarely agree or others who can't fly by like a greedy bee over a fragrant supply of nectar.

As a writer of many bendings in ever expanding fashions, I won't disappoint you with a lack of skill or a non-defining style. You will notice that my words flow like a smooth deep stream in the grip of a tropic mist, but when you swim from the shallows you will feel a strong undertow that will drag your imagination into places that will separate it at the junction between understood perception and hollowed out reason; a fine place to enjoy the new view of who you may become if you would only let go of what you think you already are.

It must be obvious to the most literate of you that I am a possessor of an abundant amount of opinions and their alternate considerations in case I ever get confronted with a more intelligent impression. I am a slippery individual, for I adapt very quickly, as survival first must be secured before I can lay in the middle of the banquet table speaking eloquently while eating liver pate on mutton cheeks as I drink fermented wine from the berries of the languish palm on the shores of my last illusion.

I promise you wit, grace and tirades as all of us begin this journey into what some have considered the last place to be lost in; my mind, with it's many Holies, horrors, humors and harbors. Please stay close if the candle burns out, for I'm not sure where I dropped the matches when I was in here with the last tour group. Know that like those that have left indentations in the hand railings, there is always a way out unless of course you find that there's no other place that you'd rather be.

Now take that last look around you, because when you come back, what was once here will have changed into what has never been before. Growth is assured, but please don't believe you have any idea of who you were going to become. However, I will give you a small hint. The one you will become, may be very thankful that they will never again be like you are now. So, come along, the carriage is about to leave, please have your ticket in hand and your excitement at the ready.
