Obnoxiously Opulent

2015/01/img_1046.jpg

This isn’t a lecture.

We’ve had too many of those no matter how elegantly written.

Instead a suggestion if I may?

And  I will.

If you elect to let it fly by invest in something, something obnoxiously opulent.

Watch the time tick by in style.

Fortune

2015/01/img_1041.jpg

The fortune teller in the window is calling my name. I went once before but the accuracy was so great that I have never returned. No one ever told me what a burden it would be to know your fate. It makes you question every move you make. You don’t know what is worse; to live out your prophecy or to corrupt your future as it was ordained. I want both and I want neither which is why I only look when I pass the fortune teller calling my name.

Poem 1.2.14 (1)

A foundation of strength prevents a weak house.

A voice, a pillar, a moment of time all shared through the power of a story.

Just one lifetime.

Left behind we will revel and climb to higher places. We didn’t have to start from the bottom.

I can leave a greater foundation for the next generation.

Eternally grateful – Constantly smiling.

Stumbling Into A Passion

This post might seem silly or even tedious. This blog is after all dedicated for the most part to my writing. However, I now think that I may have been wrong in my labeling it as my passion.

True my goal is to be a published author.

It’s also true that I have a deep love for writing and it gives me immense pleasure to write.

Yet neither of those things could honestly be labeled as what I am most passionate about.

Perhaps it is counter intuitive but those two things I have found are actually the result of one true passion.

There was a moment, an epiphany, when I found that my greatest desire is to tell stories.

There is nothing more that I want than to tell stories. There might not even be anything I wouldn’t risk for it.

How does this change everything?

Does it change anything?

I don’t have the answer to that just yet but I look forward to finding one.

For an unknown reason I feel like that answer if I find it might just be profound.
