Again

Again,
I have no answers
for the absurdity
of life

What is actual motivation?

How much
of "giving a shit"
is fueled
by fear, desperation and urgency,
and how much
by actual
simple motivation?

What is actual motivation?

(Yes, it's one of
those kind of
spring afternoons)

PH...

I don't have
a PHD
but I do have
a PH level
and sometimes I think
that's what really counts.

Notes from 2015

1. Things take time.
2. Progress is incremental.
3. Love adds meaning to life.
4. Perseverance is important to achieving things.
5. Life ends up being what it is instead of what you wished it was; but if you accept that you can work with it and move forward.

Inspired by the previous entry.

Notes from Years ago

1. Slow down, find Natural rhythms
2. See world in biggest picture possible.
   Expand your boundaries, increase your visions
3. See Now (present moment) as
   complex sum of all there is;
   helps you understand that
   every moment is always
   new and different
4. See your place in the universe

Christmas Eve

Christmas eve
in this creaky old
apartment,
so quiet, so peaceful
-- almost everyone else
has gone away.

no special people

There are no special people out there
no good perfect magical ones
it only seems that way sometimes
in a desperate moment
or an endorphin rush

You don't find good relationships
you build them

Can you work
with who you've got?
