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.
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.
Adventurous smiles-
my thoughts unknown to the world-
the risk was worth it.
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.

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.
