happy. . . .

wee ones, canon 20 d

discovering all over again what really makes me happy...
apart from you.
apart from them.
apart from what's expected.
apart from what the world defines.
apart from the doubt and fear.
apart from ensuring your happiness above mine.

stripping it down to me and my own little happy ticker.
a good place to be.

hush...

sent, canon 20 d

im starting to drive home at the end
of the day with the radio off.
and i no longer want the tv on when i fall asleep.
i sip my coffee in the morning without my ipod.

i wonder if perhaps i am finally becoming comfortable enough
to be silent in silence...

this must be progess.

i wish .....

treasure hunting, canon 20d

to live by the ocean.
to be a freelance photographer.
to work with children.
to travel each year.
to scuba dive.
to live in the mountains.
to live near a farm.
to sell my paintings.
to go white water rafting.
to learn how to sail.
to have my photography published in a magazine.
to have a network of creative like-minded people in my life.
to have a backyard filled with wildflowers.
to go to a third world country.
to a take a road trip across the country by myself.

these are just a few hopes I had written down in my journals over the years.
some appeared ridiculous to others.

but every one of these wishes came true.

Even if dreams seem impossible at the time, I still
believe in putting them out there. It’s a necessary
part of getting things in motion.
We need not be reasonable or conservative with
our dreams. Why not be outrageous ?

would you ever tell a child that his dream is not appropriate or
attainable? or that it is too extreme or not possible?
i hardly doubt it.
so dont tell yourself that load of crap.

dream on.
you still have time

still learning....

shell shoes, canon 20 d

because sometimes its not worth the fight.
because sometimes i get caught in the argument and in
proving my point that i forget what the whole
thing was about anyhow.
because staying angry for an extended amount
of time is just too damn tiring.

so i swallowed my pride and put down my flag.
and i can still taste that pride in my throat,
but the peace in my heart makes up for it.

my right may be your wrong.
your right may be my wrong.
and amongst it all just might a little lesson for
these stubborn old goats.
