Do we ever figure it out?
The chase, the high, the come down.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
Tumble dry, low. Oh so low.
I lost all meaning searching for the meaning of it all.
Laying, mind racing.

I felt those colours in my mind.
A quiet soft whisper. “This way.”
I could feel the joy and ease in that voice.
There I was standing in fields of yellow, pink and blue flowers.
Transformed, surrendered, free.
In the moment, the only moment we ever have.
Now, there is only now.

The Life I Chose
I honor the life I chose. No one pressured me into it. I am young, wild, and free. I no longer regret the mistakes of the past. I have enough to get by. I have had my share of hard times. I am thankful for every twist and turn in this life. I can make it on my own this time. So, I follow my heart and I follow the light. And I know that my answer will be nothing to hide. Oh it’s all I need to realize, I have only one life. I have to live with my own desires and disregard people’s expectations of what they want me to be. I am not going to have a government job or work for social security. I am a creative person who enjoys art. I am not going to play the master part of being manipulated into something I don’t have an interest in. I would not be controlled by my environment and let that determine my destiny.

I was in the middle of a discussion on the obsession we have with winning when it comes to sports (the Winter Olympics was a theme), and I felt as though things were coming full circle. We had already lost Gene Hackman last year, and along with that titan, it feels though one particular golden age has closed off to be replaced by...?
