life is nothing more than a series of absurd rationalizations for the reactions we have, unconsciously and immediately, in response to the events of reality.
read that sentence through a few more times.
a bad day, therefore, is merely one when the rationalizations we make are made slightly faster, indeed, too quickly, and disallow the right frame of mind from settling in. lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08911423685479515952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191193.post-950035492003-05-28T16:14:00.000-04:002010-01-06T18:34:50.442-05:00I Said

i remarked today that i think i am lacking direction
or maybe i am only lacking the opportunity
to belong
to an isolation
who really knows
not just believes
that he is greater
than the sum of his parts
and wiser than his years should allow
or maybe i need
a good night's sleep

or maybe i should stand up
and yell out loud
that i am taking charge

i despise expectations. they can only sap your potential and cap your reach - things that should never be done.
i will not stand to be expected; i must not have limits placed on me.
specifically, i will not live a dead end life. i must have a higher impact, a broader impact, than one life or one school or one city or one state or one congress or one nation.

this record is beginning in the middle. that is to say, this is an epic! not of my life, which certainly has had a beginning and a middle. but of a grand story, ripe with suspense, comedie, distant action, pain, love, and joy.
i feel a great pain. there is a void here, an incompleteness. and it tears at me daily to feel the hate that pours from one to another in this life,lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08911423685479515952noreply@blogger.com
