Catapulting you out into the World

13-kyrgyzstan (44)_1.jpg

“Here’s the thing. Admission into time and space requires a belief in limits: a belief that both time and space are real; that you can therefore have and have-not; that love can be lost or found; and that you are what your physical senses show you and no more.
These illusions immediately lead you to believe that you are incomplete. Yet, far from indicating you are flawed, they reveal your brilliance by filling you with desire, igniting your emotions, fueling your passions, and catapulting you out into the world where journeys are begun, connections are made, and dreams come true… only to be replaced by new dreams as your sense of incompleteness persists.
This is by design. Feeling incomplete does not make you so. It’s how legends are born, giants are made, and history is written. It’s why you’re here. To ever-so-briefly escape your true identity as you live with an unquenchable thirst that will lead you into adventures of grandeur, discovery, and a realisation that love is all there is.”
Your trusty accomplice,
The Universe

    You know, I’m not much on leaving a many comment, but my ADD mind seemed to slow down for this one. I’ve had countless late night sessions with the better of my closest friends, and we all seem to end with the same complaint. Why do we feel like something is missing? Now this is not coming from your everyday fellows and gals. These are BIG people… not socially big, but BIG hearts, BIG souls, BIG dreams, and BIG courage to give it hell everyday they are privileged to wake up. The fact that Mister Universe above just slapped me in the face, to let me know that we are suppose to feel like that, is very refreshing… and right. If I was content or satisfied, or my brothers were content and satisfied, would we continue to carry the same daily outlook?
