Hear, I am. - April 3

Hear, I am. Describe the richest person you’ve ever known. How you tell them is how you tell me who you are. What are you looking for? What are you looking for in me? What do you want from me? I want you to be the mud my feet get stuck in to accidentally germinate into something real You see for the longest time I thought that life was a matter of becoming. It was in the pursuit of something greater, more awe inspiring, fuller. So I ran after that…that sense of what I could be if I just put enough strength and courage into it. But now…now it seems like that great adventure of becoming is getting my feet stuck in your mud and having no choice but to actually make things, to actually do things, to actually be things, by the simple fact of living and doing and working consistently, and not wasting all that time on those words, all that time running or walking or moving only in the mind, only in fantasy. And meanwhile, somehow, things do get done. A personality becomes itself, and a life has been lived, and not in vain.
