I was just staring at rain hitting the ground outside and then I imagined myself as a raindrop. its 4 am and I can't sleep so I wrote a story about it. then some other stuff came into my head

Story
+ Show Spoiler +

I peer down at the earth, amazed by the brown, blue and green. Up here all I have are different shades of white and black. Often I wonder if I should let go of this world and plunge down...to approach this shining heaven beneath me.

One day, I decided to go. I dropped out of my sky and down into the winds. I fell, stunned by the beauty I was fast approaching. I watched a mossy-soft plain turn into a rougher sheet of green. As I came closer, I watched everything become more and more defined...more and more complicated.

I dropped into an incredible place--but I didn't pay attention to that. Just before I landed I saw a man. I was surprised when I realized his eyes were searching above for heaven.

In a flicker of a moment I gazed back up and I was shocked to see a ribbon of colors elegant and rugged resting against weightless, massive clouds.


more thoughts on raindrops
+ Show Spoiler +

traditionally heaven (or paradise) is resting among the clouds, or up in the "heavens". We're stuck on the ground.

now if you're a raindrop, you're stuck up there in the clouds. you see heaven as going down. dropping out of the cloud is metaphorically death or some sort of release into a place where you can't control, and the eventual consequence is to become a part of something much much greater than your individual self. so really its just perspective but still the personified raindrop is a perfect example of human life in one cognitive system


Christianity backwards?
+ Show Spoiler +

a big what-if. just go with me and assume that christianity is legit: What if we have christianity backwards? like we're all worshipping satan and not god. I've always found it weird that we symbolically cannibalize god/the son of god. on top of that we're told what not to do, told we're definitely going to do what we're told not to, and then the only way we can be saved is to surrender our soul? are we on the right side of the god/devil good/evil (notice how similar the letters in both those pairs are) ideological clash and balancing act supposedly going on in our world? and all this through faith--blind, unreasoned faith.


one last thing
+ Show Spoiler +

imagine a rainbow up in the sky. i shouldnt even say rainbow, there are so many connotations with that.

imagine the phenomenon that occurs when sunlight gets divided by water. you see the colors up there. I feel exactly right describing with the adjective elegant and verb resting, but I can't think of the second verb. I have the idea, the feeling, but not the word.

I know this is confusing but I don't know why I have such trouble describing this. "a ribbon of colors elegant and ______ resting against weightless, massive clouds." the closest I could come up with is rugged.

if you can kind of get what I'm at, feel free to fill in words. or just any words, as long as its funny or intelligent.

Funny thoughts, lil shroomy with the colors too..

Haha, I like the christianity thought. In my life I just move around christian people all the time and I can't end counting how many bad people are there... so arrogant to others and they even feel entitled by almighty God to do what they do.
Other people no matter if good or worse at least admit they're not feeling "we're the good ones".
So many hipocrites who know they're religion is the "one and only", convincing people to convert for their own good, even though their belief states to be tolerant to other believes and religions.
Something is amiss.

John Lennon said it; "Imagine no religion"

some people sing that song as; "Imagine one religion" :S

Also cool thoughts on the raindrops.

If that's the case, then I guess I love satan. Why would the actual name matter? It's what he does and what he stands for that is important, right? The Bible tells us that our creator and God says we should love each-other. If the one saying that is actually called satan, then so what? He's still the one with the coolest ideas
