...and the ball dropped

the whirring paused long enough for thoughts to be heard again.

ten year plans and tenure plans - what's the difference?

there's a delayed reaction, indicative of being worn out and torn apart. a slight shift in the gaze and OOPS...the martini glass tipped over and spilled.

how can we be more poltite, understanding, and compassionate when everyone's in a hurry?
what's the rush?
nobody knows, but everyone knows everyone's in a hurry.

you heard from the "wise ones" that if u rushed, u would miss something significant, something meaningful..."slow and steady wins the race", and other such wisdumbs. but why so much emphasis on the speed of things? let's be a little more 3-dimensional here and look at the other factors. is time really everything? what about motivation? what about karma?

ok, maybe karma is tapping into some superstition and so we'll side-step that one.

what about ability? innate drives and qualities? intelligence should be a factor too, dontcha think?

we learn to learn from our experiences. the good, the bad, the that-was-just-a-poor-judgement-call-in-93, and all the colors in between. our perceptions of reality and truth shift, and yet remain as profound as the minute we popped out of the womb. my posts may not be profound, may not be earth-shattering truths or fabrications, but if u read something and it clicks somewhere at some point in time, let me know. i like knowing that i'm being heard by someone besides myself.

validation is a social need, and no one is above and beyond it (and if they think they r, then they're kidding themselves).

reach.
