I’m not the first to write about the roles we play and the conditions presented by decisions to downsize the roles of the hardest working nation on earth. As individuals we try to survive through hourly challenges only to learn the endeavored feeds nothing into a conclusion.
We’ve evolved into a settled people; we settle for whatever is offered then feel uncomfortable with each decision—we could’ve, we should’ve and I meant to be but only end up doing.
Billionaire Donald Trump holds back no shame when he explains, “It’s a sad place to be this modern America.”
As this day begins, confidence teaches us to trust the legs that carry the weight while the heart races to take cover from a society not so willing to offer care to its fellow creators. Each of us…we are all writers, producers, builders, a nation gifted with vision and a warm palm to open while holding seeds that fall from the sky then dropped onto a worn out path.
Most of us fail to encourage warmth, compassion and growth. We choose to walk over, around or on top of the seeds eliminating its reasons to believe in today and tomorrow.
A mind filled with too much to think is a journey that doesn’t reach the tip of one’s fingers.
Learning to take a seed and give it a reason paints for the person holding it a sense of togetherness set in warm new beginnings therefore unveiling a movement called creativity.
Millions of dreams come true; I do not deny that each of us are tortured by our own separate way of generating the differences that make up leaders, friends and selves that feel the importance of being good enough to stand where our feet play…so we keep wanting only to leave all things connected in a box titled, “Things I’m willing to trade.”
The paths we push into the surface of the earth remain until a single plant decides to take a chance on sprouting roots. It believes through effort the true source of its purpose is embodied in a decision to accept change.
This courage is without measurement; not an ego to put energy out nor a self driven materialistic reason that requires the hand of others to make way through sacrifice while dining on play. I want, I have to have, I require and oh by the way I'm not coming to work today because golf seems like the better place...just have it done by 5pm.
No man or woman is looked upon as being a master of martial arts unless he or she has bled the blood they require of the students or seeds they carry.
Abuse has become accepted behavior followed by denial.
One seed can reach through a rock breaking the assumed hard way into separate stories. To which I ask what role do you play; the path, the journeyman or the reason to believe or not trust today and tomorrow?
Thick Nhat Hahn teaches, “To walk in peace you must demonstrate with peace. It doesn’t require loud voices, banners and large crowds in the millions. Peace begins with a single seed.”
I will always believe in you first…
