Scene - Present Day
Friday....
Happy Friday, and Happy Halloween weekend to those of you who enjoy that sort of thing. Sunday is daylight savings time again and the world is flying by faster than the speed of sound. Wondering what's in store for you next. The quest for love, success and all pursuits in between. What will your tapestry reveal when your day is done, as you await the where to, next. Trying to have a life in a world that may not be for you in this moment. Fighting to have love with someone who does not want to have harmony with you. Sometimes it's not them, but it could be their family or friends who are trying to prevent bliss. Realizing that you may have to stand alone, and let a worthy life pass you by.
No one wants to be there with you in the struggle, yet everyone wants to be there to reap the rewards. Though they will never come right out and say this you. Is it our insecurities that force attachments to the winning circle. Is life better when you have strength in numbers? Many questions arise, and truthfully you know who holds the answers. You have the answers, but are you really trying to see the 'real' reality. Some will tell others their side of the story, because they know who will agree with them, the ones who will not agree, ultimately is kept out of the loop. Is a real friend, someone who wont tell you the truth? Juggling work, friendship, relationships, religion and politics. Something in the big picture gets missed, and yes someone or something gets passed by.
The goal is to make a difference, to know that settling is not the life that you signed up for. To push the envelope even when you know your name may not be called. Its your right to challenge the foundation of the structure of the road traveled. If you get there once can you get there again? Will you be wiser this time around, or the next. Why does love feel so good, with the one who hurts you so bad, and makes you sad? A progressive state is easily achieved with the one who loves and wants you, but of course you could care less about them, so you pass them by, and end up alone, while the one you wanted has a life with someone else. I digress.
I can say today, that's it's okay for me to go it alone, for me to work hard to achieve my personal goals, to fully believe that what I truly want may pass me by, and the design on my life might bring happiness to others instead of me. Will that be enough for me to see joy in my children's eyes? To selfishly give of myself to a world that works against me and my kind. We as Americans on a daily basis take for granted our freedoms and can be so cavalier about the next man. To have thoughts and opinions that may be about bigotry,injustice or racism, did someone take any of that into consideration, or did life pass them by.
If you had it to do all over again, would you? What would you come back as? If you had one more day to make a bad decision right, if you could bring a loved one back to correct a wrong. Every now and then you get a second chance ... do you stop and recognize the journey of the 'now' or would you let the moment pass you by?
What are you doing with your life?
Great stuff again Kevin. I so appreciate your writing. You always manage to give me good insight to things that I take for granted.

Nice TGIF and great song choice. Your taste in music is so diverse.
ReplyDeleteWow I didnt know that you had kids. I think I knew you were married. Guess you learn something everyday. At any rate, I love your blog. If I were interested in knowing more about you, how should I go about a meeting. Can I leave my email and phone number here or do you have a personal email address?

I have belief in myself, if it's meant for me, I'll get if. People who try to block your growth, should not be a part of your life. The Bible teaches to call on God and acknowledge his presence and the kingdom is yours. Few people want to give God time. Sooner or later you have to call on him.
ReplyDeleteKevin you seem to talk around your belief in GOD, almost like you don't want to ruffle anyone feathers. I found some good stuff in your writings, but you should never be afraid to say that you believe in God and that he is the only way to salvation. The truth IS the light.

Thanks for always giving the reader good topic for thought. I dont agree with Cookie Sheard, it's clear that she doesnt get the core of you, because she's WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off the mark.

Hey....you had a few typo's in your email address, but I see you have it corrected here on your blog. Even with typo's the message is still the same.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Krystal, Cookie is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY of the mark. You have to read between the lines girlfriend :-)

Good stuff bruh. Keep digging deep in your soul. We all need heroes. My wife turned me on to your blog, now I understand why.
ReplyDeleteRoger S.
Time and time again you impress me. Anyone who reads your writings could easily see that you're a believer in God - DUH!!!!
ReplyDeleteContinue on your path soldier.
I know you wrote this one about me Kevin. I could just feel it. You have a way with words, and it's always from a relatable view. Thanks for being a vessel.
