Sunlight of the oncoming day peers through the trees in my peripheral vision, shadows cascading across this element as dawn meets the back of my eye. With body at rest but mind lingering between thoughts of the day ahead and whispers of yesterday, I find myself awake for the ascent documenting this soul scripture simply because its what I must do.
With the entire universe in continuous motion somehow I've always found a certain calmness in creating things on the web. In a world of constant growth and decay, life and death, building and destruction; the internet embodies a playground for our thoughts. Thoughts that once created will remain exactly as we leave them, forming structure and understanding from experiences of the past. A multifaceted diary without definition, distant from the toils of most other types of property it unequivocally exists.
Moments pass, the daylight grows stronger and shadows are cast back into the darkness. Glowing above the treeline this glimmering star of hope continues to represent rebirth, possibility, potential and the prosperity of a new beginning; though my mind is illuminated in a different way. Sensors across each brain hemisphere fire off in a rhythmic pattern, growing and building upon each other in seamless unity. I'm listening to 'One Day' by Matisyahu, off his new album 'Light.' He sings; "Sometimes I lay under the moon and I thank God I'm breathing. Then I pray don't take me soon, cause I am here for a reason." His heart connects to the sound, his soul to the music and his voice to the words. The words find the harmony and the harmony finds me. The process renews as I pass that inspiration on to you; art generates more art and we continuously create each other as we create ourselves.
Time usually tends to show us what truly matters. These moments of elevation and unity of body and mind represent the awakening of life. These are the moments we live to explore, the moments that keep us alive. The journey has led us to this inevitable phase where we delineate a massive direction of our lives at a time where sureness is scarce and a guarantee no longer represents the assurance it once provided. Career. Observing the people around me as the branches of a tree, I'm intrigued by the curves and twists each branch takes in its quest for sunlight. With the times unstable and promise of success subsiding, the subtle importance of keeping yourself inspired on a daily basis is becoming ever more crucial. Whereas we can't control the changes of the tide, we can only control our disposition to it. I notice the great people that surround me confidently climbing the ladder and blossoming into their respective niche, step by step. Those we grew up with now begin to fill the shoes of legends who came before; some even create new shoes, wear no shoes or say forget shoes and walk on their hands. Some are moving quickly, some slowly, all for a reason and all for a purpose. We're all given a destination and pointed towards the summit yet we've all managed to come up with our own innovative ways to reach it.
This truly is a land of opportunity, so blessed are we to even have the ability to choose a career path. This is something our forefathers shed blood and fought for in hopes of creating a better future for all of us. To this very moment our brave soldiers are stationed around the globe protecting these ideals and this incredible dream. This past week we honored our independence and those who gave the unimaginable to sustain it, I take a pause from these cascading thoughts of career to respect those that gave even a moment of their lives to protect this for us. Thank you brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces and anyone out there who stands up for our way of life, peace and humanity.
Keep this life cherished and no relationship overlooked, to sustain this reality for all we must live within our means and stay true to the emotions within our soul. Completely scrap this idea of expectation. Consider the importance of planning but live within the moment, over thinking is a passive way of preparing for the future; actions truly speak louder than words. Find joy in failure, a prerequisite to progress, the dignity of the attempt. Don't back down to challenge, obstacles build strength, build character, build life, build you. Do not look for your place in the world, make it.
