Developed, yet not quite there
Inspired, but not yet executing
Striking off down the trail
Trespassing previous boundaries unnoticed before
Running with what's there anyway
Anticipating the uncomfortable feeling accompanying
Coolly warding off any lingering inebriations
Told by the mind, judging the observer, continuing for that reason
Inquisitively questioning the visitation
Oblivious to the obvious question
No mind?

ALIVE
The Find We're always seeking to find that next thing. That next product that gives us great energy, yet doesn't break the bank and it's always a plus if it's environmentally friendly. For the better part of the last six months life has found me in Arizona or I have found it, or a mix of both. To be more specific, I've been making the rounds darting in and around Sedona. It's summer now and the desert has been hot. I heat up my store bought vegan pizza at a temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit and it's getting up past 100 degrees on a daily basis. To this I often ponder "If you eat a lot of vegan pizza are you a vegan pizza"? We'll leave the answer to the desert wind.
