Living like a Runaway

Remember: 

Life is short, break the rules (they were made to be broken)

Forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably

and never regret anything that makes you smile.

The clouds are lined with silver and the glass is half full.

(although the answer won't be found at the bottom)

Don't sweat the small stuff,

You are who your meant to be.

Dance as if no one's watching.

Love as if it's all you know.

Dream as if you'll live forever,

Live as if you'll die today.

When I was younger I lived like a runaway.

To be a seeker you have to doubt all truths,

observation and experience will teach you what you need to know.

In the end it's imagination, not knowledge that marks intelligence.

I think the saying goes, 'Without strong roots the mightiest tree cannot stand.'

Experiencing different places, cultures and opportunities has always been paramount 

to my 'taking root'. Funny how people try to get you to focus on what 'they' want.

The discovery of 'the agenda' is the hardest thing to accept when you discover it.
Key West, South Beach, Williamsburg, Cape Cod, New Orleans...on and on,
 Been there done that ! It's not the place, It's the people that make the difference.

There are people we don't want to lose
but can't hold onto.

There are places we don't want to be 
but are meant to experience.

There are things we don't want to happen 
but can't control.

It's your job to climb the mountain and see above the clouds for yourself.
Rather than to believe the 'congregations' interpretation of the view.
We need to be able to state our personal truth without having to prove or 'shout' it.
Our greatest short coming is that we have learned to mask certain feelings,
or portray feelings that weren't even ours.
