More than most things, something that inspires me to write is a deep and overwhelming feeling of an injustice occurring, something we could readily change, something we could see through to the end and make anew.  Recently a friend of mine mentioned his love of Bilal after having seen him play live, which I know was a great show considering Bilal’s amazing talent.  Truly, the man’s talent is beyond what can be articulated clearly to anyone who hasn’t heard his music and voice.  Nonetheless, I realized something, which is apparently THE issue of artists and may remain so evermore. 

No words suffice in duplicating in any recognizable fashion the beauty of this world.

Some of the most influential people I have welcomed into my life firmly believe that we change our environment by changing ourselves.  That our environment will be or will not be any given

Uncertainty is the fire which breathes hot breath into our feet and hands, compelling us to move forward, push harder, and accomplish the truest passions of the heart.

I have a fondness for wilderness.  A deep respect.  It often inspires awe in me and so I seek out wild places any chance I get.  Recently, a friend and I traveled to Muir Woods in the north bay

Every time I turn around I am being schooled.

Approach life as a student.

Questioning whether your existence matters and what you do each day to reinforce the value of your life is simply not an idea that many are preoccupied with.  To many, life is fleeting.  And yet in its fleeting nature they are continually distracted by the trivial in a secondary world which makes consumers of us. 

Thus many of the women I have met are consumers.  They don’t know who they are or what they really love or have passion for.  They give of themselves freely without a second thought if the price is right, and they continue to consume because somewhere in that consumption is a form of solace which sings them to sleep at night.

Failure is an opportunity.
If you blame someone else,
there is no end to the blame.
