Life is a beautiful journey. There are experiences that, at the time, seem minor but become everything. There are others that feel so difficult and once you’ve made it through to the other side you find that you value life so much more. There is misfortune and fortune and luck and the path of karma. All of these are aspects of a life well lived. I am living a life well. I have experienced so much, and I feel like my life is continuing to move towards a better and healthier place. I believe I have the chance–no the future–to be happy and it already started.
So tonight I present a few thoughts on the present moment…
- Trump. He is living out his fantasy and good for him. Still, it is bad for so many more of us. I mentioned this article once before, I think, but I feel it is so telling of where we are as a nation. Shout out to George Packer for the words.
- We went to the park for out usual workout and somebody turned the world back on. There were at least three different teams/camps on the upper fields as well as baseball teams practicing on the diamonds below. The truth is, I got used to having the space to ourselves. We are planning to go earlier tomorrow in order to get that space back.
- Social distancing appears to be at a low. That is, in AZ at least. Short of Trader Joe’s no businesses have shown much concern that I can see.
- It is different in Cali where the beach cams now look like this and this. It is a relative ghost town in comparison to how things were before.
- Still, I want to be there. I want to go somewhere and enjoy the beauty of this world.
