Humbled
They say you should never forget where you came from...but perhaps that the problem with some of us, we forget where we came from. It’s a struggle to make it out of the gutter and easy to find your way back... In fact the only thing easier is forgetting what the gutter is like when you claw your way out of it. Its too easy to forget how hard it is to fall asleep with a growling stomach because you needed to make sure your people ate. It’s easy to forget how hard it is to finesse your way away from your people while they eat so they don’t notice that you are not eating...again. It’s easy to forget all the children who have no gifts for Christmas while you are overloading your cart with things for your children. Children you know don’t need all of the frivolous bullshit they have asked you for throughout the year, and moreover won't appreciate it after they get it. It is easy to justify to yourself why you overlooked the man asking for change outside the store because you have "other responsibilities" you need to resolve, or because "you can barely keep your own head above water." It’s easy not to look at the woman with her kids flying a sign in the median of a freeway because you know you can’t help her situation. Easy to forget that sometimes all it takes is a nod of acknowledgement, a word of encouragement, because sometimes you just need to know other people know you exist, and that you matter.

THE GOD PROJECT
I have witnessed a plethora of jaw dropping anomalies this year and had some very real experiences that have given me a level of awareness that for lack of a better word I am uncomfortable with. I have wanted to write this for a while now but found myself not only unsure of what I wanted to convey with my words, but unsure of what the universe itself was trying to convey to me. I have come to three solidified conclusions. #1. Everything happens on its own time. Whenever (it) does happen I understand that whatever (it) is serves a purpose to everything in this universe no matter how minute it seems. It is clandestine and essential to the existence of everything on this celestial plane. It does not matter if its effect can be seen by one or many, or goes unnoticed by all, its existence is tantamount to the existence of everything it will exist with just as the existence of you and I. This is synchronicity and it is everything.
