simplicity for one the few

All we want in our lives is to be in a place where it is just fine to find empty space; a whole lotta nothing, a fine place to visit from time to time. The place between someplace and the rest of the world where time moves at a comfortable pace; the place where one day you will remind yourself just how decent and good life can be when you run with the flavorful ones, the tasty ones, the ones who are battle tested and still a whole lotta fun to hang out with. In that location is the furthest place from our isolation and self deprication. 98.2

tree

MMMMMMMMM, I feel so good today. I have an open canvas and lots and lots of paint. My only concern this morning is where to start. I think I'll paint some sky. I'll start with a little blue and mix some white with it until I get the swerve i'm looking for. Now for the ground. Brown and black should do the trick. I need to remember to put some sticks and leaves on the ground. It is Fall after all. Now, for this one tree. What to do. Hmmmm. This is a special tree and it needs to be in a place where people can see it for miles and miles for many years to come. I think I'll put it right here beside the brook. That way it will always have water nearby. Yes, I am happy with that. That is indeed a great spot for a special tree.

you are vital

There is no need to fit into the mold, the expectation of what others believe to be your best bet. There is only one best bet, and that bet belongs to the priority of opportunity from which you derive the most pleasure. This means that there is a focus, a way of doing things that, in the end, will yield the best possible outcome; one in which you find the greatest satisfaction. Because things change, especially if another comes into your domain, priorities change. This is a fact that brings forth new opportunities and/or old ones never realized.
The people around us are no more tapped in to the possibility of success than we are. There is no one general rule or way to achieve the success you desire in your life. There is only one mold for you and it was made specifically for you. Other people may at times try and fit into various molds; this is normal. But one day the rubbing on the side of your body will begin to itch and feel uncomfortable. When this happens it is time to remove yourself from that mold that was not created for you in the first place. That is a sign that it is time to stretch out and let it be known to the world that you have a place here, a desire for belonging to a system of occurrences of which you are a vital part.
