Default Pure Imagination

Ok, so last night I was high and Willy Wonka was on. It may sound just like a pothead to say I was mezmerized by the song Pure Imagination, but bear with me. Have you ever really listened to the lyrics?

Quote:
Hold your breath.
Make a wish.
Count to three.

Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see into your imagination.
We'll begin with a spin traveling in the world of my creation.
What we'll see will defy explanation.


If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to do it.
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it.


There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.
Living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be.

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it.
Anything you want to, do it.
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it.

There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.
Living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be.
Feel free to comment, even if it's to tell me to lay off the herb for a while .

Quote:
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.

We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

Arthur William Edgar O'Shaughnessy

Ironic that your name is 'aspiring to clarity' LOL

Funny you mention Willy Wonka. Recently I was watching a rerun of "Family Guy". The episode parodied Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the Gene Wilder version). Brought back memories! Instead of candy, the factory made beer. Definitely a must-see!

I thought it funny that you're talking about smoking weed and your name is about finding clarity. I smoked pot for a long time. Clarity was not something I associated with being stoned... not that it bothered me.

Don't take me too seriously. I'm just having fun.

I see. I just wanted to make sure I understood you.

No problem. I don't necessarily associate weed with clarity either, but sometimes you get surprises .

Is it just me or is Wonka singing about subjective reality!?

Once again, Clarity has changed my perspective.
