No island is an island

The marsh and swamp areas belie white sandy beaches full of shells, palm trees, and tourists.

Intimacy with our Earth is sexy.

No island is an island onto itself.

Many islands, if not all islands, are simply microscopic continents.

Not every quote with “sexy” in it is potentially blush-worthy.

Still learning after all these years

Eye glass temple inside details
See the 140 on the eye-glasses temple? Temple is the arm that goes over your ear. The ‘140’ is the length in mm. Never knew this.

Never stop learning. And sense when to commit to your beliefs.

Keep learning. And at some point in your maturity, you’ll have your priorities prioritized, so the major learning is solidified.

Remember, wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from making mistakes.

Additionally in your maturity, you’ll make fewer mistakes because you’ve learned so many important truths.

Embarrassed to say that after a lifetime of wearing glasses, i never knew temples had more than one size.

Heck, i never knew the “eyeglass arms” that go over your ears are called temples.

How is that possible?

Not a single person, no doctor, no assistant, no employee, ever mentioned this.

Have three pairs of glasses purchased six months ago. None of them fit right. The left side generally lays well, but the right side is completely “off the rails”.

When you’re at the eye doctor, you kinda “smash them on tight” to make it look good.

Turns out, that’s not the way they sit day to day.

After a lifetime of seeing it fit wrong, i simply got used to the poor standard.

”Changing Painting”. Bold. Awesome.

Outliers try to change the status quo. Most fail. This is why the crazy ones inspire us.

The opportunity in disappointment

Apple Watch fitness app screenshot
We started around 6:45 AM today. Cheryl’s Yoga class was cancelled. The disappoint for her is opportunity for me. Six miles together, then another four doing yard work.

The older you get, the more valuable discretionary time and self-propelled movement becomes.

How do i know?

Guess.

Ps. In case it ain’t obvious, i’m (we are) living proof.

We come from the Earth and to the Earth we return.

As crazy as it sounds, we are stardust.

We are so insignificant.

We are here, in the Universe, for a nano-second.

A spec of dust gone in an instant.
