A need or desperate state of insanity that is almost too scary to fathom. I still feel them,
hear them and smile at the mere thought that I have been blessed to know of such a
breed. You see as innovative and self sufficient force in a creative manner, I have been
in my life, truly blessed. So blessed that I am fully aware that I can not manufacture
such a remedy for this kind of pain. Yes pain, I am not injured, hurt or in an
uncomfortable state of existence, I am in pain. If I could only relay to you the
significance in the meaning of my grandmother, and how she would sit me down and
explain to me the inner workings of the world through her eyes, you can understand on
a smaller level or scale the importance of those taking out the time to converse with you
for whatever reason. It could be a bum, a millionaire, peon or janitor. You see many of
us talk, speak and more, but to converse in an unconditional manner goes beyond the
wisdom to absorb. It’s a feeling and something that can truly, move mountains, if you
truly believe and trust this feeling you never knew you could feel. I guess in many ways,
I love my mentors of life in a space where there is no time or place, and where
dimensions blend and bend to make life what it is in all of our minds. So welcome to
the final segment of darkness by candlelight, and hopefully, I can excel its
predecessors and brighten up the world in an unconditional way. So hold on, this ride
might get a little bumpy, but I promise to calm down my turbulence and give you all that I
have.
As I look around this foreign land, I am seeing the same locals I see where I am from. I
mean their accents may be a bit different, tan a little better and drive on the wrong or
right side of the street, but things are just as they are on the other side of the world.
Many ask me that when I do travel, do I take in the sites. Do I explore beyond my
purpose, and or if I take time to absorb the many wonders of the world. My answer is
simple, no. I am over here for a reason and that is it! Even those that work for me are
on the same page as I, and if they want to feed some dam Kangaroos or visit where
Steve Irwin did his thing, do it when time permits, not when we are over here for a
reason. I mean that may seem harsh or hard, but hey, we didn’t fly half way around
the dam world to have fun! I didn’t travel thousands of miles for sex, take in a few
tours or mingle. I came over here to work, so my concentration and focus is solely
on the reason I traveled so far. But in conversing like I normally do with others
though after we chill out, I do my best to define what I was taught, being and
conducting myself as a decent human being. Now I will be the first to admit that I
don’t always hold up to that challenge and fail miserably sometimes, but in knowing
that and making an report card on myself each and everyday, I feel that I am getting
better at not being at my worse. But as I was trying to explain in this freeze frame
moment to this new found chat mate, focus and a certain level of discipline is what
I feel makes everything what it is. Before I left and was talking to some youngsters
in the airport, I asked them why are they mad at the world? I didn’t know if they
were or not, but the look on their face reminded me of a state of confusion I was
once in when I was their age. I remember when a man came up to me and told
me the same thing I had just told them, and how I should really look at life, and
how blessed I am to live it. I don’t know if that changed the way I look at life now,
but I will be the first to admit that we as adults, have done an pretty piss poor job
on raising the youth of today in the manner we were brought up. Its easy to look at
kids now with their pants sagging, gold and silver in their teeth and doing things
we would have never done and place blame on society. But we as adults are
society, as we are also the example or lack there of, they look up to so how can we
actually look down on them. Now don’t get me wrong, many are doing a fantastic
job, and I am not condoning beating a child. But let me tell you before my father starts
to write a column, if I even looked like I thought I was bigger than I was, not acted like
it, but looked like I was about to think it, I would have been making a trip to the dentist
office to replace my pearly whites. Many are quick to say that when the lobbyist,
politicians and leaders of the world took that paddle out of the hands of parents and
teachers, the kids went wild. Well I beg to differ because if I really look back on how
many times my parents actually gave me a good smacking, they were few are far
between. I mean I had to really fuck up big to get “touched” as they say it now, but I
guess the mere fear of that ass whopping, made me stay in line and not cross over it.
