Love is the souls recognition of it's counterpoint in another. Love is having complete devotion and faithfulness to someone. You need to be honest and caring in love. Love is also about trying. You have to try to make love work. It doesn't just happen and all work out. Love is a leap of faith, a long journey on a rocky road. You have to have faith and be willing to try.

Break of Day/ The Circular Ruins Stuff

Both the poem, Break of Day and the short story, The Circular Ruins are about dreaming. Break of Day talks about the world being a mental activity, that if people stop dreaming the world could end. The Circular Ruins speaks of a man who dreamed of a man dreaming. This also has to do with the world as a mental activity because a man is imagined through dreaming and this dream comes to life in a way. There is a metaphor in Break of Day that says "And since ideas are not eternal like marble but immortal like a forest or a river" This metaphor is saying that dreams are immortal similar to forests and rivers because dreams are always changing but they are always existent just like forests and rivers.

Metaphor

A metaphor is defined as a direct comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects. Metaphors are often used to indicate that a first object is "equal" to a second object. Metaphors can be very powerful components of speaking and writing. This is the metaphor that we used in class by William Shakespeare...

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances.

Perhaps all young adults and adolescents feel the need to take a soul flight, or push the envelope to its fullest extent in order to discover themselves. During a person’s voyage into adulthood, they experience life altering events and are forced to make important decisions that will influence who they become as a person. These events may be referred to as a soul flight. For everyone, these experiences and choices are different and that makes it unique to the individual.

McCandless traveled to the great white Alaskan wilderness and lived off the land in order to find himself and his purpose in life, this choice also cost him his life. While most don’t choose to do as McCandless did, they do what appeals to themselves. Some graduate high school and join the military in order to grow up, travel and experience the ups and downs as life as a soldier. Many choose to get a job and work full time, hoping to find something that they like so they can settle down. Others choose to go to college and further pursue their education, and others take some time off to enjoy life for what it is. Everyone has different experiences along the way and these experiences make them who they are.

A soul flight is defined as a spiritual healing, meditation, inner freedom, and exploration into the mysteries of the spirit by an individual. Wallace Steven writes in “The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain” about his own experiences with soul flight and discovering himself. Stevens uses poetry as a soul flight to discover himself and escape from reality.

People all have their own experiences with a soul flight. No one shares the same interest and beliefs and therefore everyone chooses to do something separate with their lives and something separate to reflect upon their lives. People discover themselves in different ways and focus on different aspects of soul flight.
