Imagination Under the Ice

My overall interpretation of this quote is that a good book is like a battering ram, obliterating the door behind which live your imagination and emotional self. This lets your mind escape from the grasps of reality and roam free in a world of mystery, magic, fiction, and unfound knowledge, knowledge that may be false or true but it can contain information that This realm of ones subconscious thoughts is apparently quite important to some people. It provides an essential comfort that no one should be deprived of, it lets you take your mind off problems and relax. That comfort is what endless conquerors have tried to burn out of their enemies, and set a flame at their tree of hope. Most of all this comfort makes you believe. It inspires you to think, hey I could do that, or, I might be able to do something about this. Believing is the first step on the slow and tedious journey on the path to positive change, and that is the key to happiness. Others may have different points of view, but this is my opinion and to me it can explain a whole knew philosophy and create a new atmosphere.

An experience that I had was from the Artimus Fowl series. When I first stated these books I plummeted into a universe of mysterious plots and magical creatures. They danced on the surface of the frozen within me, forming small cracks and holes all over. Eventually after hours of taunting my brain until finally they broke through, and my imagination ran wild. I got all kinds of crazy ideas swimming around in the sea within me.

My Guitar is on Fire

When I run my fingers across the six strings of my guitar I hear the sweet sound of a chord and I listen and trying to balance it out, trying to make it perfect. I feel that I have a strong connection to music and that connection is important to me. I like listening to music but I’d much rather play it on my guitar. For me music is really how I express myself, and my emotions, I play different music depending on how I am feeling at the time or what’s going on in my life. For example I might play a slow song when I’m sad. And I might listen something upbeat when I’m happy or excited. Just listening to music helps me to focus on something else if I’m stressed, unhappy, or angry. It is a sort escape for me where I don’t have to think about anything else, and when I return to my room I always feel better.

I think music is also a common interest for a lot of people and in my opinion it me helps to connect you with others who enjoy listening or playing the same types of music, no matter whom they are or where they’re from. I’m very lucky to have so many instruments (Pianos saxophones and guitars) and so much music of all different genres and types at my fingertips, anything from heavy metal to classical.
