Keith Cleversley’s Point
In the few moments I can steal away, I find such bliss. Lushness abounds all around me, and senses ooze like sumptuous fruits in a vibrant garden of eternal deliciousness. The sun explodes into a million juicy treats waiting to be plucked, tasted, and returned to their dance in sweet arrays. Swept away, as delicate embrace sheds its skin I am teased by the vastness of what I see. She is everywhere, wrapping herself imperceptibly into every pore, invading with a tangible warmth and tenderness that seethes with anticipation.
Such sweet embrace, such rare moments, such clarity, such perfection, how could it be anything but the truth of all that is and could be? In this, my desire always remains the same; to find those who resonate with all that life reveals, to find expression through mutual revelation of all I hope to be true, to help awaken others as I was awakened to a dream that is larger than any of us have ever imagined or have simply forgotten. Wrapped in such humanness, we have the power to reach beyond, to share that which is real, to love and to be loved with complete surrender. Isn’t this all anyone ever wants when all falls to nothing?
Always aware that we have such a brief moment to breathe in this world and all it has to offer us, it makes me even more aware of how many people forget to revel in simply being alive, as I watch them get caught up in the dramas of their daily lives instead, wondering if they ever take a minute to truly enjoy a sunrise, or to feel a cool breeze blow across their skin, or to really soak in the scent of a favorite food, or to see the real beauty in a piece of art or an idea that they wished they had created, and so on.
I have soaked in so much life already and know what it is to have my dreams come true. This leads to my desire to find a way to let others know this same joy, but I never seem to come up with a suitable answer, and it has ignited a passion in me to find a way to express myself through words, music, and art.
In my mind, if I can touch others in the same way that I have been touched, through the music I create, the photos I take, the words I write, or by simply being exactly who I am, by shining as brightly as I can as often as possibl; then, in my small way, I feel have added to the ‘ripple effect’, making a positive impact on the world, leaving it ever so slightly better when I leave it, than when I entered it.
And this blog is part of that beacon equally as it’s a way to make my internal realities external. Truly, I am unaffected by what people say about this or me, because I know true joy, and I am always being as honest and true with myself as I know how to be, liberating me from regret, freeing me to explore and enjoy the world around me in as many ways as I can imagine to do it. I am not afraid of failure (I know it well), and instead choose to live my life, so that when I’m on my deathbed, I don’t ever find myself saying; “What if i would have just tried…?”
So, what’s my point? – I don’t have a point. This blog is simply is my beacon, honest in its design, obvious in its intent, hoping for nothing more than to know that others know of such rare treats. This is why I am, why I still am, and what will always be my only purpose and intent.
