As we travel this long and winding road toward an unknown destination, let us be mindful of the fact that others experience loss, others struggle, others worry, others feel inadequate on a daily basis, and others don’t even have the time to breathe and think of these things. They are too busy simply trying to survive.

As your hands keep moving,
be mindful of the sickle,
which assesses growth,
and responses to the light we’ve received.
For there is a knowing beyond proving,
and a feeling beyond a tickle,
which professes an oath,
wanting to fight for what is believed.

Mark 4:29

When we are rolled in the wave of existence, shot out tired, gasping, wanton of air, we remember what it was to breathe easily, and reminisce.

If good things come in threes and bad things do as well, how can we flourish, how can we dream, and how can we even tell? For I’ve heard the hardest workers among us are lucky, and I’ve heard that gratitude grows exponentially. These trinitys of experience that shape us often reveal themselves before the wave hits. Here’s to riding the wake of existence on the way to education that cannot be easily replaced. Cheers to finding the blessings in the losses, and the challenges in the peaks. Kiss the universe hello for me. I’ll be right back.

You were there for me when no one else was, and I am there for you if no one else is. You are who is and who was, and who is to come, and my hearty soul can rest in this.
When I had nothing to my name, and it seemed as though burdens would never cease, it was then you revealed, then when you came, providing me both release and peace.
It is easy to find following with the world in hand, and simple to have attention when the weather is fair. For when the world turns coldly dark, and I don’t understand, I owe you all I have and more for being there.

Rev. 1:5-8

The hillsides are painted with colors that will not be forgotten. Hidden between rocks are the echoes of stories told beside flickering flames. And when life conspires, through individual voices, to make things rotten, we need to take stock and remember their names.

A man in himself is nothing, yet he thinks himself so across life. And the greatest transition a man endures in this life is from usefulness to uselessness in his own mind and his own right. A man might be chained to the fence, barking at the moon about how many more good years he feels he has. Society may have cast him aside some time ago, and told him that he has no intrinsic value, and that his instrumental value is slipping through the fingers on time’s hand. We are each born with value that we cannot ascribe to other things. And that value does not diminish with time. For when the song of doubt, darkness, and danger sings, those who listen have also committed a crime. We must push each other to see the need for repair. We must pull each other into the place we belong. For those who are filled with hope, love, and care, sing an altogether different song.

In this world of preservatives, be your truest self. In this world of additives, be your authentic calling. In this world of plastic, be organic. In this world of fake, be real. In this world filling rapidly with garbage, be a source of fuel, inspiration, and transformation. May we rise above the packing material and journey together towards a more sustainable future.
