Gracias al Lector

Thank you to all two of you who are following this blog.
You are the reason this entry exists.
We all act for attention at some level.
One level on which I am is this blog.

The thought that others might care
to see what I have to say
feeds my ego and makes me feel good.

Thanks for indulging me.

Lessons of the Highway

I just took a road trip.
350 miles one way.
Once I got in the car,
it was easier to go forward than back.
Although 349 miles lay ahead
and only one behind
my momentum was forward.
Guided by a clear sense of purpose.

I had no companion
and with the radio broken,
watched the odometer and did math in my head.
The monotony of the highway
and the slow progress of ratios and percentages
slowed the pace of my distraction.

The harshness of the desert landscape
and my vunerability passing through it
kept my focus sharp and my purpose singular.
Get to the other side.


Decide clearly
Do one thing at a time
Start.

These are the lessons I bring home with me.

The Earth Only Spins Forward

When thoughts of regret or nostalgia present themselves,
take example from the planet on which we reside
and spin forward.

Tonight was a great start.

Now my blog has two entries.

direction and momentum

I named this blog direction and momentum because that is what I am thinking about right now.
It is often what I think of.
Direction, momentum and inertia .
That seemed like too long of a title.
