Experience the unknown

"Before I sink into the big sleep, I want to hear...the scream of the butterfly"
-Jim Morrison, (The Doors - When The Music's Over)

This is one of the most interesting statements I've ever heard. I don't think anyone can understand what Jim Morrison really meant - because he's Jim Morrison. He is the definition of the unknown. His mind was wild and lives on today through his music. The way I interpret that - "Before you die, experience the unknown". Has anyone ever heard a butterfly scream? I don't think so. It has a symbolic meaning, several. Everyone can put their own definitions to use, because you define your own universe. Experience it all. Hear the scream of the butterfly, go out into the forest, and find the troubled butterfly who is screaming for you. Close your eyes, listen deep, and you will find it.
