""It doesn't matter what we do. Whatever happened, happened." - [Daniel Faraday.]
I'm a very openminded person, and a firm believer in the idea that ANYTHING in this world is possible. It annoys me to an extent when people up and decide that based on their beliefs that something is NOT possible when in reality NOTHING has been proven true or false.
This goes for religion, the afterlife, everything.
But I had an incident that occured earlier today that made me think about destiny, coincidence, fate and free will.
Ever have one of those moments where you arrive at a specific place, at a specific time with a specific intention and you arrive to a decision you need to make? I believe that these are the crossroads or check points of our lives.
As much as I don't like the idea of not being in control of my life and not having a say in where my life will eventually go, its hard sometimes to ignore some of the obvious signs that sometimes we get a little push in certain directions. that we meet people for specific reasons, or arrive at certain places to discover certain things or be taught certain lessons.
But even though we are meant to arrive at said location or meet said people we unlike some animals possess free will, and this changes the outcome of w/e we were or were not supposed to do.
example:
my sister told me a story of when her boss was going out to lunch, but no one was going with her, so she asked her to go. my sister not typically being the one to go with anyone alone for some reason this time said yes, they found out at lunch that they had a lot in common and eventually this led to my sister getting a new job.
what if she had said no? where would her life be right now had she made the decision to say no?
she came to a turning point and made a decision based on free will and thus that one action had a ripple affect in her future which will have another affect down the line when she comes to another checkpoint where another decision has to be made.
but whose to say that she didnt also say no? maybe her saying no to the lunch with her boss happened. and I know your looking at me now like "wtf?" but hear me out, what if alternate realities really existed, what if w/e small decision that we do or don't make at a young age branches off into another existence to see how that plays out?
as a baby your crawling down a hallway and you have to choose to go left or right, so you go left, but instead of that being the end of it the opposite side of your same coin went right and thus came out with another outcome than when YOU went left.
....
I know i'm not making any sense, lol.
but like i said, I believe in a lot of things, and I don't think it's wise to keep a close mind especially when there are so many mysteries in this world that have yet to be explained.
Doesn't help that i'm watching LOST either. [shrugs]. Would like some opinions on the matter but somehow I doubt too many people are going to look at this. we'll see.
"I think that's why you and I don't see eye to eye sometimes, Jack. Because you're a man of science. [ and what does that make you?] Me? Well, I'm a man of faith. Do you really think all this is an accident? That we, a group of strangers, survived. Many of us with just superficial injuries. You think we crashed on this place by coincidence? Especially this place. We were brought here for a purpose. For a reason. All of us. Each one of us was brought here for a reason." - [John Locke.]
Filled with lovEdrug, her arms is overflowing with love he doesn’t want. She kisses me and asks me make her a poem.
Brutally openminded. Letting her mind go like wild horses flewing the fire on the prairie.
But Sweet, you can never run away from a prairiefire. Where are no short cuts. Only the horses who runs back, towards and into the fire, survives.
Obrigada pela simpatia...http://www.flickr.com/photos/bedelite/

Throughout my life, but more-so since coming out, moving to Winnipeg and starting my current job.... I have developed an open mind and curiosity about sexual orientation and gender identity....
I have always tried to look at each person as an individual... but more often now I try to understand their life's path...
NO - it is not a life CHOICE... you don't choose if you are straight, gay or some other sexual orientation.... you don't choose whether you are born a female, or have a female conscious in a male body...
Scientific study has proven it is in our genetic make-up... it's no longer the theory of "nurture vs nature"... it's not a symptom of early sexual abuse or neglect... it's who each of us is!
So I made a new friend, and isn't she sweet, and really pretty too. She said she's nobody. But I explained as a photographer everyday is a nobody until someone makes her a somebody. So let's see what happens in the next 24 hours. Here we go, I have until 1:40 p.m 11-5-17. well, Experimented ended and a day later she had 413 views, so about 17.3 a hour not bad.

København, Nov 23rd, 2013
I was wandering through Kastellet area, in the north of Copenhagen city looking for fresh air and with a very "touristic" purpose: the famous Marmaid.
Then, as a background of a green damp field, I saw a white thick smoke spit out by three chimneys.
I stood for few minutes watching the smoke merging with the clouds and I've found myself thinking to those days I read one of my favorite books: "Mind over Matter. The Images of Pink Floyd" written by S. Thorgerson and P. Curzon.
I thought about the cover image of "Animals" and, once again, in a very short lapse of time, a photo have been taken.
As already happened in the past, I've found an image without thinking about it. Sometimes I search for a shot for months (years, in few occasions) and nothing emerges from the experiences I live. Sometimes my mind it's empty like that day and I'm able to be much more creative and openminded.
How complex is the trade-off between the creative process of idea generation and their materialization, isn't it?
