Through the wire, to the limit, even through the fire
Last night I went out with a group of friends to celebrate my boy, Evan's 31st birthday.
I haven't been out in while, so though I was mentally and physically exhausted (Sick and trying to keep up with life) I was happy to be out and about socializing and catching up with folks.
Conversation… reminded me to reflect on recent experience, to pause
for reflection. sometimes ya got stop and take stock…
A friend noted I haven’t posted a blog in while.
Inspired by one friend who will be running a half marathon this Sunday—good luck Gary-- here I am blogging.
Another friend was talking about the martial arts is all about having a story to tell you r kids when you’re older, to do something out of the ordinary, something EXTRAordinary It’s about having a story… and lately, I haven’t been telling my story to anyone or even paying attention to it as it happens; that’s when the story is lost.
Another friend was talking about working 2 jobs, but looking for something better.
This weekend I watched a rock documentary on Bruce Springsteen where he talked about the past is always with us…
I looked at my life:
Martials arts
writing
teaching
always working towards “Something better”
but….I’ve been SICK for way too long… fallen behind in everything there is to do. Not to mention feelin’ like crappy, crabby, ineffective in the my day to day—ineffecient, unproductive, unappreciative. But regardless… I keep on keeping on
life...always looking for a way to improve, to do it better
--evolving...
pushing forward
Without struggle there is no progress
seek growth not comfort
health is wealth, I wish I were healthy
Lately feel like
like walking on wire, narrow way
like an electric current surging through the wire, charges flowing forward, pushing forward onward, through the fire, through obstacles, past limits…my own limits…
to the wire,
on the wire there’s only room for one, you go it alone, you fall alone…
blah blah…I’m tired…..

Finally! A posting!! hahaha, hang in there dude! I feel ya! Life is sometimes like a half marathon (or full marathon), it's a physical and mental struggle just to try and keep up doing what you're doing. But if you hang in there and keep pushing, soon you'll see the fruits of your perseverance!! Never give up or give in!!!
