The Boat Carved From Forgotten Names
Sailing the Waters of Identity
On a distant shore, a boatmaker carved vessels from the names people had discarded—nicknames, ancestral names, names they wished they had grown into. Each boat carried a different weight depending on the strength of the name it embodied. A traveler set sail on a boat carved from a name he had refused to acknowledge. As it drifted, he felt the weight of his true self returning, letter by letter, until the name felt like a heartbeat inside him.

The Shadow That Refused to Follow
A man’s shadow detached one morning and walked ahead of him instead of behind. It stood where the sun was brightest and gestured for the man to join. Reluctantly, he stepped into the light, realizing he had spent years walking away from illumination. His shadow had not abandoned him—it had simply grown tired of walking toward darkness.

Hobby Living Variety Living
When we live life through the hobbies we do is there variety in how we do it? Have we ever thought of living with our hobbies as variety being a part of it? Yes we have, and we get so much more out of life by doing the hobbies that we do. We pick the hobbies that bring us the most joy and we do them with the time of year and the weather, for example, reading can be done anytime of year, anywhere and in the summer can be done outside. I love reading outside in the summer, it is always so much more fun, and I love just spending time outside swinging on the swing. Being out in the sun is one of the best things about summer for me. I take my hobbies with me wherever I go, making bracelets, reading, blogging all of these things can be done outside, and with that there is so much more fun to be had. When you give your hobbies your all you live through them and do so much more with them to get the most out of them through the life that you live. As we live the lives that we want to live through our hobbies the more we get out of life and the hobbies that we have in it, that I am sure of.
