It's a full time job just being me, probably the same for you. Factor in the job that pays and every day is double duty. But just because I am working doesn't mean that I don't want to have fun. Life is equal parts of fun and pain. Walking across the South Dakota prairie I know this is true: too many things can result in pain if the fun is outside knowledge of the terrain. The same is true on a spiritual level.
What we want is not necessarily what we receive. What we need is never on time. There is pain and hurt in every scenario of life from birth until the end. It is our responsibility to love and let, at the same time put an end to what we can. We think; we grow; we learn: there is no reason for old pains to continue but they do. I grow tired and perpetrate the crimes of the previous generations. We grow restless and destroy the things around us. We are bad at learning. When we learn we are not good at sharing.
Life is pain. Life is work and .... The next time you visit a bar in Mexico or a nightclub in Athens or an apple farm outside Spokane or anything that is nearer to you know this: the world lives and breathes the same as you are already doing. Changing location is for yourself only; it does not change the world's ills or life's fun. You are the agent of change. You are the difference.
I love you,
