ALL ABOARD!
I started life with an idealistic existential urgency that made perfect sense.
The Weight Of A Life Well Lived
Maybe we are designed to carry less weight through a life well lived then required by a life well lived. I have always marveled at the conscienceless as they glide through the rapids seemingly hovering above the turbulent waters, oar held high toward the heavens in victory while reaching down with the other to lend…
Stupid Finches!
…as if presidential lawsuits and hashtag movements have no connection with the greater clockwork of life stew that built us all…
Fear and Success
Innovation is on my mind. I think we all want some form of greatness. To be a hero to the whole world or a community or a child or just yourself. Did you ever know why? That may be the first step to finding your originality. Your self. Your greatness. I don’t think I ever…
