After the fireworks fade,
and the last bottle rocket lands
I hope you will take a moment
followed by every moment
to question your Freedom.
If you’ve never sat down and read
the Declaration of Independence,
I would encourage you to do so.… —-> Continue…
Can you find peace?
Sorry. Wrong question.
WILL you find peace?
Still not right.
Will you allow peace?
There. That’s more like it.
It’s actually easier to find than you might think – the tougher task is that our focus tends to drift toward everything that ISN’T “it”, sometimes by choice – most times our unawareness.… —-> Continue…
“Will you be a pallbearer?” he asked me.
I looked at him – not understanding the question.
A pallbearer is someone who helps carry a casket
at a funeral, and we weren’t having a funeral.
We were just… we were just here.… —-> Continue…
I thought I’d switch gears here,
and talk about “relationships”.
So, this whole boy / girl / love thing -
let’s skip past the first part (meeting).
Let’s talk about the fall…

Several weeks ago I had fallen quite hard 
while running on snow covered concrete.
Not a brilliant thing to do.
Since then both my elbow and shoulders have been a
constant reminder of what happens when moving
body parts meet an immoveable object at high speed.… —-> Continue…
Uncertainty repeated
creates a self fulfilling doubt,
which causes further uncertainty…
Speak of those things you desire,
focus on that which can be certain
and set the sails of your heart
to the winds of passion.
Choice – more than chance – brings you what you hope for…
