Wisdom is like the rain. its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season. grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag. when you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance. but he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly. your currency on this path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith. when you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is; then they measure out accordingly.

Another year is fast approaching. go be that starving artist you’re afraid to be. open up that journal and get poetic finally. volunteer. suck it up and travel. you were not born here to work and pay taxes. you were put here to be part of a vast organism to explore and create. stop putting it off. the world has much more to offer than what’s on 15 televisions at tgi fridays. take pictures. scare people. shake up the scene. be the change you want to see in the world.
