North, South, East or West; to which direction can one seek conformation or validation filled with promise of wonder and bliss? In a world bubbling with beautiful facades, our vision becomes blurred, our hearing muted, feelings numbed, tastes dulled and smells weakened. Sparkling drinks giving a moment of reprieve to the intense day, a sip of coffee waking us to yet another round.

What is clarity among facades? Can we live in both worlds and remain awakened? Do I need to fully disarm of all familiarity to become clear in this path? Are there moments we can falter and still rise above without such pain and judgment within our own mind against our own creations?

From one human to another; walk with me, as I know we are not alone in this twisted jungle. Days are filled with bliss, joy and inspiration, while others offer new opportunities to understand more, drive to the depths of our inner-soul to engage on a new level. Human experience; is this not why we are here?

One day I yearn to feel the sense of freedom truly gained within the space of continued clarity. I suppose this may be the day I am done with my human experience. Nonetheless, my heart continues to search along this rugged cliffs’ edge.

Squinted, sparkling eyes, teeth glistening while my lips firmly press against my mouth with a moment of satisfaction. May this moment extend into an hour, or perhaps an entire day. My heart opens to yours with compassion and love, aware of the inner-struggle rarely understood with such glee. XO
