I keep imagining the ground opening up underneath my feet. It all starts with a tremble… and then the chaos ensues.

It’s not that I am eager to embrace the drama.. but there is something intrinsically motivating about change that is forced upon us. Something we all share in a moment. It forces us to be more alert.

These are the words that I type when I am running out of ideas. I just have to let everything flow more naturally.. because when I stop to flesh out the perfect concept, I begin to trip over my idea.. a ball that I have thrown for my mind to retrieve… albeit just a little too far… and my brain forgets where to look.

I have to practice throwing the ball right to my edge.. just beyond a comfortable distance. I am begging for the words to find me.. begging for my mind to have the energy to stay in pursuit.

We are all eagerly awaiting something… and that is one of the most interesting aspects of humanity, to me. What is it that we are all looking for together… because there must be a common thread.. there must be something that, at our core, we all need… need to survive.. need to thrive… need to simply feel alive.

If I can tap into that, then I might be able to add more value to this conversation…. Because right now I am fighting for a relevance… a real, sustainable relevance that is authentic and passionate in nature..

We are all wanting something… we are all wasting time on something that should be ignored… how do we learn to sacrifice the things in our lives that don’t mean anything in order to free up our minds to pursue the larger picture… forgetting our priorities is something that we love to do… the distraction makes us feel like we are already at the finish line… but it is an illusion.. the entertainment is someone else’s story… it is another person’s idea of what you would like your finish line to look like.

There is this torch that was lit long, long ago. It was sparked when we breathed in our concept of the self… it is the responsibility of the people in this world to make sure that it continues to burn bright.. and to lay the foundation and plans for the future generations to have the tools necessary to ensure that it can burn bright tomorrow… of course, we are faced with this imperative because there is always the alternative… the torch can be extinguished… it is not guaranteed to survive the night… and this is what makes each blip of light… each spark of divinity.. so special.

After each day of racing forward with blind faith and an unquenchable thirst… there is always that something that drives us to move forward… how do we find what that it… how do we know what it is once we’ve found it? It is ok for things to change… it is only natural… and sometimes we grow in different directions… we can only hope that we consciously grow in a direction that we choose… because the garden of life is full of intended and unintended consequences…

and the conscious dreamer thrives in the vision of their dreams.
