07-12-2012 "Change -BW-"
Even the most durable things change... things start as something and as time goes by, they will become something else thanks to several factors. We change just like that ourselves, and we like to think about ourselves as very consistent... but we rarely are.
Our enviroment, our relationships, our own interests... those things change us in ways we do not even understand some times.
It is good to be aware of these things, so we can work with them and allow some positive changes08-17-2012 "Tough Choices"
While in life we make choices every day and every minute, sometimes we come to a particularly twisted batch... those are the times when we might not even want to be able to make a choice, since they are all so unappealing.
Still, we must be as tough as those choices, so we can keep going. When they come to you, because they will, keep this in mind.08-16-2012 "Wood Star"
Simply overlooked most of the time, this caught my eye one night. Once I started looking at it, I started to think about who made it, and how... was it difficult? Was it just part of the routine of someone to carve these holes in the wood? Or was it made with some extra measure of dedication?
Questions which will go unanswered...07-13-2012 "Turned into stone"
Changes do not stop with our departure from the world. Usually, this departure is just the start of a chain of events, a "kickstarter of change", if you will.
When we go, we may leave a stone marker or a plaque, something for people to go and look from time to time and maybe remember us by. In due time, it will be forgotten too.
It seems our natural cycle needs to add a couple points more: turning into stone and then being forgotten.
