Mission
Give me a muddy trail with roots jutting from the earth along the path, a mountain, and trees so tall the eye can’t see the top.
I believe life is about living. Comfort itself should be uncomfortable. Embrace the discomfort. Push through it. Observe it up close and from afar. Don’t mask it with entertainment. Don’t avoid it with substances. Examine it and listen to what it’s telling you. Then find your path or create one through the thickets if need be.
The writing on this blog is not meant to be persuasive. It’s observational in nature. Thanks for stopping by.
