a day to wait...
it is said that good things come to those who wait and that waiting is the hardest part... i am waiting on a great deal of things at the moment... i think my best bet is to do as they say... hope for the best and prepare for the worst... i am generally a very patient person, but at this time, there is just too much up in the air...

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.

a day for fire...
while keeping an eye on the fire this week, i was reminded that i must keep an eye on the fires inside me... left unattended, i fear they will go out... that is good for nothing and no one...

There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.

a day to change course...
in life a million goals are mine, and i intend to reach them all with time... there is one goal i have in mind, that puts my heart out on the line... the problem is, i have to say... is that my heart, gets in the way... it says do not enter, yet no u-turn... but if there is one thing, i have learned... rules can be broken, but hearts should not be... another way to get there, i hope i soon will see...

a secret day...
people like to tell me things... they like to tell me everything... today i asked why... i was told... "there is no use keeping secrets from you, you see everything, inside and out, you see, you know, you feel, you understand, you care, and you can keep things to yourself"... i suppose there are worse things to be said, and i suppose this may be true... but isn't it also true that any vessel filled to the brim will overflow??? hopefully this vessel has an infinite amount of space...
