And so it goes....

I wonder how many of us, you...actually take the time to entertain the notion that maybe we are not being completely or even remotely honest with ourselves about the most important aspect of one's life, yourself, in terms of love, what we hold dear and precious, and, how these 'things' define or influence the way we lead our lives, what we think and our actions out there and what motivates and inspires them...wow thats one fukcing long sentence, but it sounds good written that way, sorta like breaking it up will lessen the impact or something.

I've been wondering why its so damn difficult to be a 'good' honest person, and why, on the contrary its so bloody easy being selfish, impatient, inconsiderate and just plain nasty to those around us, both known and unknown...?

Why is it like that? I'm trying to figure it out, and hopefully, bit by bit I'll get there...and hopefully I'll be able to understand, to some degree and then I could try and get people to realise that being a better person, although tougher is more rewarding, more challenging, more meaningful...purely (well to some degree) because its so much more difficult!

And so the mission commences...

Time for Change...

And so the time comes for change, and to embrace it is a given, for to not do so equates to a parochial world view akin to a peephole...We are what we live, what we yearn for deep inside and how we strive to make that real. I hold ethics and trust high on my moral outlook but keeping those grounded in reality is sometimes more challenging than I thought. The world has it's own rules it seems, and like I've said before, its easy to give advice, its quite another to test its validity at the point of contact...I'm reminded of a speech by Roosevelt, part of which states the following. " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does ...

Beauty is perception...

When I see photos like this I wonder why it is that we crave so diligently things that contradict the beauty so evident! Is it only the lucky few who seek out and live this life where beauty is so innate to one's living who appreciate the levity of their life? We others desire so much 'stuff' that all else is compromised most notably our state of senses, our sense of being, our world so one dimensional that we lose our souls to it's linearity... And in doing so we lose ourselves and the opportunity to appreciate and experience true beauty in the world!
