Never Gonna Give Up

Recently, I've found that an inordinate amount of my time is spent fearing failure and not knowing what truly is my definition of success, followed by an anxious push to discover my purpose and meaning at that very instant. What is most frustrating about this struggle is the feeling that I've done this before, I've waged this battle many times already... and once I found my balance, my rhythm, my harmony; I let down my guard, lost my consciousness and eventually lost my way. I read a quote today, from Bhudda, saying that, "If you're facing the right direction, keep walking" which begs the questions, "How do you know what is the right direction"? Posed like this, one might expect that it is a problem to be answered with reason and principle. But more recently, I am rediscovering a guiding tenet of my early epiphanies... It's just not that simple, and the mind is ill-equipped to discover the answer to that question, and to those similar, alone.

We are human beings with human existences. And the question here may of course be, "What is human?" The question itself is a Pandora's box, and may depend highly upon one's experience, culture and belief system. But I posit that more people than not can see that to be human is more than mind. I wager that most can identify with a combination of body, mind and emotion... and still many others that can feel something more, perhaps expressed in deep emotion, intuition, uncanny coincidence - or a confluence of each that lends one to believe that there is in fact something more than meets the eye.

And just like any human faculty, which I am at this point taking this experience is, that sense for something more can be trained and honed and refined. Some may be more inclined to feel and use this skill, but as a human faculty, we all possess a part of it. Therefore, if we are to use it, we must develop it, and we must persist with discipline.

I've had it before. I feel as if I've lost it. But if I've walked the path before, I know I can find my way back. And this time with a more matured and disciplined approach.

And I'm Never Gonna Give Up

Perfect Proposals

Inspiration only exists in the present.

To say I love you is poetic - to live I love you is courageous. And that's exactly what we have chosen to do.

Amie is my fiancee and she's finally wearing the ring to prove it. The Aquamarine depths of her sparkle is courageous poetry. She inspires serenity in my Soul. She ignites my courage to be her hero every day in a whole new way.

She has helped me, once again, to find my poetry. To rediscover my Search for the Soul which is the meaning and beauty of each moment and every person. There is no other way for me, this is my purpose.

I have come to see what is less seen.
