Surrealism had a

great effect on me

because then I

realized that the

imagery in my mind

wasn't insanity.

Surrealism to me is

reality.

John Lennon

Stairs

I have one very vivid memory from my childhood. It took place at the staircase in

the house I grew up in. If you walked up the stairs and looked straight forward

youd see a closet, just about three feet from the top of the stairs. It goes

like this: Im standing with my back to the closet, facing the stairs. I was four

or five at the time. I took two or three running steps towards the stairs, and

gained incredible speed for my little legs before I took a jump. I flew down the

stairs, going fast enough that my feet just barely skimmed the carpet. I landed

on the big step right before the turn, the largest step there was. I didnt havea definite line between the real and the imaginary when I was that age. Looking

back at it, I know my memory of flying over the stairs never really happened. It

was probably just a dream. At the time I wasnt sure though. It seemed like both

possibilities where equally possible. Some things are only figured out after

hundreds and hundreds of tests, and I was constantly testing everything around

them, filled with that sensation that they are right on the edge of understanding

something. I dont know how long I let it torment me, this lack of ability to

discern whether I could jump down the stairs or not. But I eventually came to the

point where I couldnt continue without knowing whether or not it had been dream.

By the time I was ready to go I was almost certain that it had been a dream. It

was one of the first things I had figured out without actually testing it. Iwasnt sure if that was possible, didnt know if you could deduce what would

actually happen.

So I ran, and I jumped, and I tumbled, and I hurt, and I bruised. Falling down

the stairs hurt, but that wasnt the worst part of it. The thing was, a world

where you can jump down the stairs is so much cooler than one where you cant.

And before I tested it, I was living in a world where that was a definite

possibility. I was almost living in a world that was better than the real world,

because I didnt yet realize the things I couldnt do. My world had limitless

possibilities, but I was slowly figuring out more and more limitations that

exist. I dont regret I did it. It helped me figure out more about the world thatI live in. The real world. Sure, I could still think I was living in a world

where you could fly down the stairs, but Ive never actually lived in such a

place. And frankly, I dont know if I couldve resisted the temptation to grab

for the realization I knew would come if I jumped. A world that you think has no

limitations is just going to let you down. Because you live in a real world,

filled with limitations, and you need to figure out what they are if you are ever

going to get past them.

I almost wish that I could still do it. Still jump down the stairs. There are

still many things Im not sure about, things that I think could go either way.

And things that I could figure out. Im almost saddened by the fact that Imhappy where I am. Its sad that by my age I think almost everyone is happy with

how much theyve discovered, that they dont feel the irresistible temptation to

figure things out anymore. I wish I still had the guts to hurl myself down any

set of stairs if I think there is a chance I could fly past them. But I dont. I

just stand at the top and wonder.

Doubt puts its finger on the trigger

And fills the head with the sour sound of uncertainty

It rings like a choir chanting

An empty hearts the heaviest loadLament what you had

And peer to the future

Through a looking glass

That shows you nothingJust a reflection

Of a foolish soul
