Impossible is nothing...

...At least that is what the commercials tell me, which I am suppose to believe rather than relying on something called common sense. Impossible is flapping my arms fast enough to fly. Impossible is punching my hand through a glass window and not breaking it. That is something, so while in TV land impossible may be nothing, to me impossible is something. It's tangible. It's like acknowledging that the rate at which we are using the earth's resources is going to destroy the poor thing before its time. It's a fact, it's there, but for the most part very few of us actually think anything is wrong, and will keep going about things in the same manner until we are violently forced to do otherwise. Acknowledgement of such things is tangible. While it's good to dream, and aspire to achieve great things, these goals need to be constantly examined, and adjusted throughout the process in order to keep sight of what's important. We won't reverse the effects of pollution, and convert to alternative fuel sources over night. Instead it will come from years of dedication, sacrifice, and work across the board. Confucius once told me that it's okay to take things slowly, as long as I don't stop. This is important. Nothing that is ever truly worth it will be easy, and quick. The path may often be narrow, and over grown with obstacles, but each hard time serves a purpose. Insert ending cliche here - Choose the path less traveled. It will take you where you need to go faster than you think.

An Uneasy World

There comes a time in all of our lives when the harsh reality of the world we live in hits us. The realization of the once innocent, peaceful world that we lived in when we were younger no longer exists, and seemingly even the most ludicrous and unthinkable things can happen to us, and most likely will. I feel that all we can do in times like this is hold onto those we care about and weather the storm. Stand tall, stand strong, and know that you are not alone in the struggle. We are all fighting for something, and I don't think we can make it alone. It is imperative that we be true to ourselves, and we can do no wrong. Borrowing from the unknowingly, occasionally, once upon a time, wise - one of the last surviving - friendships of mine - faith manages. Sometimes, regardless of our beliefs, it's all we have.
