a book - Me to We by Craig and Marc Kielburger

I just wrote the last post but didn't mention this book. One great thing I've been able to do with all of my extra time is read. I picked up this book in a Walmart in nowheresville Tennessee and have completely loved it. I have found it to be a great subject to get my mind off of me. The Me to We is about service and the act of giving. If you want to be challenged and to change your life then pick this up. It is an easy read and will keep you thinking and crying...life makes so much more sense when we are willing to give to those around us in need. Enjoy!

Love you,

We hiked in silence. We drove to the hike in silence. There was a moment when I thought reaching out to you would bring us closer together.  And then there was her. There was the her from the iPhone that got in the way.  The her that made me think, what the fuck are you even about.  You actually follow Kylie Jenner on Twitter... holy shit where did you come from?   That repelled me... the final thing that made me judge that pushed me away from you.  The thing that tossed me into another place and made the silence begin. I simply couldn't figure out how to get out of the silence.  I couldn't figure out how to crawl out of the hole.  I would make a comment.  You would make a comment.  But nothing.  It's as if the final strand was broken.  It was as if the final tenuous delicate little tie that held us together broke.  We shouldn't have gone hiking. I know you hated it.  You wanted me to believe that you liked the outdo...

you came in and you ran out and i wanted to say hello and you were gone and then you were back and you were smiling and we were talking (breath) and we were talking about important things and we were talking about things that made me cry (breath) and we were looking for colin and we were walking around the room and we were talking about life and you were speaking to a part of me that hadn't been spoken to in years (breath) and we were talking and finally in the thump, thump, thump of the room you asked if i wanted to get out of there and we were leaving and we were walking out the door together and we were standing in the parking lot and we were talking and you put your head on my shoulder and i grasped the back of your neck and my heart melted and my knees got weak (breath) and we were talking and we were talking about important things and we decided to go back to my place and we talked and laughed and talked and laughed and looked into each others eyes and were respectful of the ...

again and again and again...

the cycle is so present... always present... whether in my written notes or my online blog there is me getting excited about something, getting lost in the pursuit and then musing about it and stating that I've learned something only to repeat it... why? I'm hear again, well, sorta... my friend Mike said to me today, if you would only make a decision to settle on something. You have amazing energy and talent but you just need to settle on something. I am simply not sure what that is... still... not sure of so many things. I'm enjoying life though... have a great job... have nice friends... maybe i just have inflated expectations about what life is suppossed to be? maybe I just want too much? not sure... just saying. life is good.
