The Missing Experience

my issues

A good friend once said defiantly, “they’re my issues. I don’t have to work on them if I don’t want to!” I was thrown off by the concept but I thought she had a great point. It’s so true. It’s your life. You can do whatever you want with it.

And I think of those old soul types who have been around the sun so many times they have stopped striving for enlightenment and have just settled in with their cigarettes or other choice of comfort. They’re wise indeed but also a little sad and bitter. I don’t want to lose my hope and my idealism. Or if I get around to being realistic, I also want to be happy at the same time.

Like everyone, I have different sides. Counselor, photographer, writer, cooker of food – both spicy and plain, and seeker of truth and happiness. I have always taken an interest in the unassuming things that pass us by – both heard and seen, both ordinary and not so ordinary. They are all sacred and beautiful in some way.
