I went searching for homeless man. I wound up joining the army. Well, the salvation army. I've been searching, rather, yearning for some time in life. I was wounded by life's trials and I hadn't found the courage to accept the world as I found it and my actions along the way. I wanted my answer to just waltz into my life. I've discovered that you're never going to find what you're looking for by sitting around or sticking to your usual routine. If you find yourself lacking, go find your luster.
I'm moving to Colorado in a week. From the plains of Oklahoma, this is quite the marvelous change in scenery. My move, ever-so timely with the awakening of my desire and passion, is beyond symbolic. This winter will usher forth the most resilient season of my life!
The adventures I will have and the things I will discover will be the stuff of legends. I have no desire to live my life as anything but epic so I shan't. For too long I have dealt on the negative things from my past. For so long was I distracted that I found myself underground, shaded from the light of the beauty of the world. I see myself in Plato's eyes, a man emerging from a cave, stumbling from the light, and coming to... To feel the rushing wind and realise he's on the side of a mountain. Talk about epiphany, can you see?
I found the homeless man. And I gave him bread, mac and cheese (still warm!) and a cookie. :)
Love the world--save the world
