Myth, Lies and creation.

"But, said Lewis, myths are lies, even though lies breathed through silver.
No, said Tolkien, they are not.
You call a tree, he said, and you tink more of the word. But it was not a 'tree' until someone gave it that name. You call a star a star, and say it just a ball of matter moving on mathematical course. But that is merely how you see it. By so naming things and describing them you are only inventing your own terms about them. And just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth.
We have come from God (continued Tolkien), and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming a 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to that state of perfection that he knew... Our myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily towards the true harbour, while materialistic 'progress' leads only to a yawning abyss and the Iron Crown of the power of evil."

Will not apologise for the pain.

Everything around here makes me sad.

Everything around here's part of the dreams that we had. That will never be the way we wanted them to be... We dreamed of the future...
All the beautiful dreams..
I can see... this is only a dream.
Come on and wake up with me. Hey come on, and wake up with me. Hey come on and wake up with me.
Everything around is so beautiful.
Everything is a part of the dreams we will paint. That will never look the way we thought that they would look when we began to step into the future... It don't look too good right now, but I know, you're a wonderful painter, you're a master with your colours, as mine get fainter... there will always be an afterglow of a beautiful dream that will never be the way that we dreamed it to be, but hey, c'mon and wake up with me, hey come on and wake up with me, hey come on and wake up with me... for more beautiful dreams.
