Every time I hear this song by Zbigniew Preisner, it brings tears to my eyes, which is fitting, because the song is called "Lacrimosa" which means tearful. I've listened to other recordings of it, and for some reason the one in this scene is a lot more powerful, perhaps because of the images and rumbling sounds.

Enter Into the Mystery (The Tree of Life)
The Tree of Life is an absolutely beautiful piece of art. The cinematography and score is amazing. This is definitely not meant for entertainment purposes as those who watch it--expecting it to be entertaining-- may find it to be very confusing and boring; it is a film for deep thinkers.

An opportunity.
I decided to go with my dad to his chorale program at the temple square and hear them sing. I started reading '1984' while trying not to fall asleep to the softer songs. Afterwards, we walked around the square and looked at the lights. We stopped in Deseret Book, and someone suggested we check out the Gallery stroll in the JS Memorial Building, So we did. "Why not?" said my dad. When we got there, my dad noticed the same painting that was on his chorale program listing, and we started talking to the artist, Jay Bryant Ward. After my dad was talking to him for awhile, stopping to find something out of his bag, the artist, Jay, started staring at me. I'm guessing he saw something in me--probably thanks to the beard--and eventually, he asked me if I would be interested in being a model for one of his paintings. My dad as well. Of course, we said of course. So now, my dad and I have the opportunity to be in one of his paintings. Very cool. Below is his work.
A few dreams
I remembered a dream I had a while ago. I was visiting Nick and Erin Potter. They lived in a nice little home in a long grassy surrounding and a pebble road. I was having a very difficult time asking them if I could borrow their Katamari game. Then I woke up and realized that they are not in Utah, so it would definitely be difficult to borrow that from them.
A recent dream. I saw this short green snake and I wanted to catch it, but I didn't want it to bite me, so I urged it along until it hid underneath a toppled bowl. A part of the snake was sticking out a little bit, so I pushed the bowl down to pin it, pulled the tail out and held it, then inched the bowl towards its neck. Then I grabbed a hold of its neck and picked it up. It was very strong with a strong and large head, if I didn't have a firm grip on it, it would have managed to wiggle free and bite me. But I held it very tight, and I feared I was strangling it. I said to it something like, "don't worry, I'm not going to harm you, I want to put you in a better place," and I walked outside with it to a raised cement garden box with plenty of growth in it, and set the snake down on the cement ledge. I observed as it became a lizard and it saw a flying insect, its head followed it for a split second--a moth perhaps. As the moth passed, it walked up to a plant, and became the same color as the plant. A big bright yellow monarch butterfly flew near the plant, and the lizard turned into the exact same butterfly and flew away. I followed it and witnessed it turning into a frisbee(I'm not sure). The frisbee flew to a tree and then it turned into a cat, which jumped from the tree up to a bigger tree. As it was in between the trees, it turned into an owl and flew out of site. I was in awe. A friend of mine--I'm not sure which one--saw it as well, and he tried telling people, but no one would believe him. I told them in their disbelief that it was true because I saw it change into these things and I was very serious about it. After I said something, their disbelief seemed to falter a little from the expression they gave me. This new discovery of an amazing shape-shifting creature excited me, but of course, there was no proof, just a witness.
That was all.

Wind sickness strange dream
The wind woke me up early this morning. Crazy strong wind. I felt sick with a headache, stiff neck feeling, and strange throat. Sporadic sleep with strange dreams. The first dream, I was on this street in this neighborhood which was a lot more developed than it is now. I looked up and noticed some gulls flying low. One of them was carrying a bald eagle. I thought that was strange because of the gulls webbed feet. When I thought that, the gull dropped the eagle and the eagle smashed onto the asphalt and died, the gull that was carrying it spun out of control and smashed onto to asphalt as well. I was shocked at this occurrence. I walked over to examine the birds. This family came out of their house to go somewhere. A little girl came up and asked me what it was and I told her. She said "oh," and ran off. The last dream, my sister went overboard with my parents, and my parents left. As they were leaving, I started crying and repeating, "please, don't leave me here alone to deal with this...," that was the end of the dream sequence. The first dream, is America going to fall? The last dream is actually happening right now in reality, and it hasn't stopped.
