There's this thing growing inside of me to do something out of the ordinary. To break free from the things that I know and stumble into something I have no idea about. To learn. To be taught. To change my insides. To be different.
Today, while clicking around my favorite reads I went and looked in on my friends here and read an article that made me go hmmmm?
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy. Because of the things I think about. I think about trash a lot. Where it goes. What it's doing to the earth. Is there anyway to lessen the amount? How can we just not think about these things?
And then I have to look around and see that there are people doing something about what I only think about every so often.
Activists.
I hate to admit it, but it's just not a group I've ever wanted to be associated with. And there's shame that comes creeping in when I write that. Maybe it's because I stand on the outskirts wanting to understand. Wanting to care more than I do. Wishing for something to believe in as much as they do.
This is true even when it comes to my faith. I have been taught that if you are not hot or cold, God will spit you out of his mouth like bad sushi, sour milk, maggots. Is this doctrine true?
When it comes down to it, are we all just waiting for something to believe in enough to make us rise out of bed and say yes to our life's calling? Have I become too complacent about everything?
What challenge is my brain/heart/soul asking me to partake in? What challenge is your brain/heart/soul asking you to partake in?
Part of this may be the argument my mom just spoke to me about: conservative and liberal thinking/view points. Oh so many other things that makes me go hmmmm?

I like these things you are writing and exploring. And when I say like... I mean it's quite inspiring. love you.
So now do, not say, Act not speak, choose don't wait. Elect don't guess. Decide don't observe & then make change with your hands, see the impact with your eyes, feel its resolve with your breath. The environment, how have you changed it today?
