When in the pursuit of dreams, there’s something to be said for spinning heels. Lessons can be learned. Crafts can be perfected.
One can also find peace in the patience it takes to wait. Jump into the joy. Cozy up the comfort residing in anticipation.
But when the world isn’t moving fast enough… Well, the two final choices have been overanalyzed since the beginning of time, but they are the sum of all my fears:
When can one flinch without being called a coward?
And…
When is waiting too long considered insane?
And, for free…
What if this situation has only occurred in one moment?
Sadly, that one moment has been my last 15 years.
In the end, act or don’t act. Thinking about it is as pointless as tassled running shoes: it’s too easy to slip into and provides no support whatsoever.
It’s inaction that creates the paradox. It makes me wonder if Hell is inaction.
Are you walking the fine line between cowardace & insanity?
Agonizing, isn’t it?

Spinning heels, got to go ’round.
What’s the knock on tasseled running shoes? I keep hoping they make a comeback on golf shoes and men’s loafers.
This is a pretty heavy philosophical thought for early Monday morning. I would concur that in action is hell and have thought the converse is true too.
At least you haven’t been stuck in a mine for the last 2+-months. Talk about hurry up and wait. “Hey guys we’re here. Now we’re going to spend the next 2 days reinforcing the tunnel. Hold tight.”

How you ‘holdin’ on @rginvalpo?

Day-by-day. Been an interesting few weeks. Bon Jovi was living on a prayer; I’m trying to live in prayer. Keeping eyes/ears/heart open to what’s next. Thanks for asking.

Whoa, I hope you’re half-way there!

I truly lol’d at that. Hope it’s more than halfway. I was doing the math earlier. I’d fall in the under to unemployed category for more than a year and a half. That was surprising. Statistically, I don’t show up anywhere either because of the circumstances. Sad to know there a lot more people like me out there that aren’t rep’d in the reported figures. Can’t imagine where I’d be sans-Faith at this point.

Hopefully, being resourceful.
Do you still see a light at the end of the tunnel?
RGinValpo says
I’m not sure I see it as much as I know there’s one there.

NO Silly!!! Are you crossing the line between insanity, and genius !? I hope so!! ——> “At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out. They fence you in.
