Empiricism

“I will give you nothing…. Not even my hatred.”

Time and energy.

Valuable resources that are precious and finite.

Why squander themselves aimlessly.

Invest in your autonomy and join none.

The road less traveled is unknown and uncharted. Embracing opportunities for growth or stagnation.

Mental congestion, distractions, loneliness, anxiety and misspent time accumulates with blurred vision on the beaten track of routine. To go back is to go forth.

Sense of purpose.

Why not soar above them all.

It’s your story.

Unmasked

Life is a costume party. Who are you?

When you walk out your front door who are you dressed as? How many costume changes today?

Why not just be you. Uninfected by the virus called social media and its affiliates.

Become who you are when you discover who you are. And grow from there.

Don’t pretend to be someone else.

You’ll lose who you are.

Don’t fret for me.

When I die don’t fret for me, for I have lived a life like no other.

The time I received was all I had and I tried to live it to the fullest.

Rejoice in knowing that I lived and loved and I am still loved from this moment on, as I will live in your memories until we may unite again.

Crying for me is beautiful as it confirms that a piece of you is departed, depicting a puzzle that is missing a major piece and will never be complete but still accomplished.

Number 9 upside down.

What do you wish you could do more every day?

Whatever I want. I’m into many things and most of them come in waves of inspiration. There isn’t a check in or check out time.

Read, write, meditate, laugh, listen to and play music, ride my motorcycle, pop in out of shops on a city’s Main Street, enjoy a great meal or cup of coffee, either alone or not, watch the pacific ocean’s waves crashing and sliding onto the coast line.

Hang and talk to my three awesome children. I get the most out of this time. We have certain rituals that keep us together every week. Live, laugh and love.

When spending my time on something that isn’t of my choosing, I still try and find the positivity in it.

The sun.

The sun rises in the east to open and adorn the day in its rhythmic pace, shaping all life and society.

The sun rises for everyone.

The plants animals and mammals.

The trees and the seas

The abstractions and intangible phenomenas we can’t perceive.

The dirt, worms and insects that walk crawl and fly.

The rainwaters that fall and with the sunlight, dry.

But most of all for you and me in equality. It’s shines on all of us equally rising with the optimism of what can be.

And when it sets, the sun symbolizes the close of the day by its diminishing illumination, allowing billion of stars to showcase their light.

Time is finite.

What is today? A gift of opportunity. The day before tomorrow and after yesterday.

By moving forward you move into the unknown. Is it curiosity, impatience or pursuit.

Moving backwards is insecurity showing itself with fear, uncertainty and indifference.

Staying in place creates distance. Safe, secure and familiar.

The day is yours.

Precious, priceless and irreplaceable.

Use wisely.

Waste not.

Time moves with or without you.

Once gone, never to be reclaimed or replaced.
