A life can be a simple span of time or the duration of an adventurous journey. Like the games we love to play, there is plenty of luck involved along with some risk, strategy, and skill. We don’t start out on equal footing and we don’t all get the same cards to play. At some points we’re striving to control certain aspect of our path. At others we’re recognizing the illusion that is control and simply doing the best we can with what we find around us.
The purposes we invent, the joys we enjoy, and the relationships along the way create our individual stories and shape the foundation for the stories coming after us. I’m encouraged to create a world we all want to live in, a place of peace, voluntary solutions, and abundance. The path from here to there isn’t clear. The time we have to play this game is finite. Just as every moment matters, every moment spent with the intention of letting go of intentions also matter, but in less obvious ways.
Here’s to celebrating the moments of silence where peace and quiet and lack of ambitions recharge us to act, move, and create.

Well, Hey Now! I second that. Brought a moment of peace just reading it. Words of wisdom from a smart guy. I'm thinking you may understand why I just traveled for two years on a bicycle through southeast asia, meditating in random Buddhist temples, mountain view points looking out over the ocean, and random zen gardens found along the way. Speaking of Zen....

From my own view, ambitions make a simple path looks like a difficult one, a soft work takes the form of a complex one. It good to dream but not to be obsessed about it.
Their is nothing compared to inner peace but only few are privileged to experience it as much as it should..

Most times the best path is "the one least taken!" I was trying figure out if you took this in Puerto Rico but I imagine you had no time to get out and seek paths with everything goin on that week! They are a couple of great places there though so you are in for a treat!

I also went for a walk at the sea, in the sun, today. Amazing how liberating it is. (especially after the recent stress)

We learn with experience and evolve from them along the way. It is like an online laboratory!
