Sunrise & Sunset - The Only 2 Inevitable Events

(Saturday)

As hard as I have tried to come up with something poetic to say with my opening line, I think apart of being honest is telling anyone at any time that you just got nothing... So people I just don't have that perfect opening, that table setter that is going to excite you to read on, the eloquently worded quote that rivals "To be, or not to be", just humbly the truth... nothing...

Thru my travels (it's 40 days today, sweet 40 blogs!!) I have found very few things outside of my control that I can rely on. Other than my family and friends, Oh Jesus what am I talking about... I have tons of people that I can rely on. Ok strike that, (wow what a start huh?) I guess what I am trying to say is that there few absolutes that occur each day. Yes, that's it much better! And now were off! Stated before through my short travels I really have only found 4 absolutes that occur in my everyday life, and in my lifetime can only see having 1 more... the only 5 things that I can say with absolute (I like that word BTW) certainty that will happen today, tomorrow, and forever. The hilarious fact about that statement is I don't even have control over 2 of them, and using the powers of deduction that means I will only have control over 3 areas of my life... Seems amazing doesn't it? I bet after you read this you might tend to agree with me, and if you don't, tell me I'm a moron in the comment section and "make it rain" with knowledge of course.

***Disclaimer*** I am not a profit, nor do I believe I know anything about the complexities of life... Never will I preach, or tell you how you should live your life. This is ONLY my interpretation, my path, and its one that I am walking, and going to walk always.

Now the 2 easy absolutes... Sunrise and Sunset, face it folks no matter what you do they will happen everyday for the rest of your lives, even if you cant see them, there are there. AREN'T WE SO LUCKLY THAT THEY ARE 2 OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EVENTS THAT HUMANS CAN SEE. So Saturday I woke up early and spent the Sunrise on my back deck with the boys, a cup of coffee, and a binks (blanket). Yes, it probably wasn't as beautiful as an east coast sunrise, (as some of you east coast readers can attest) Oh and off topic, I need to apologize to all my east coast friends for always being such a dick when talking about your beloved cities, I love my town and think it's the best place in the world but I never tried to realize that you might feel that way about your home town, so I am extremely apologetic. It was a calm serene setting, and just before that big lightbulb in the sky brightened up the day an eerie marine layer (fog for those east coasters) engulfed the park and made it's way through the houses like water through a rock bed.

The other 3 absolutes are more complicated, and I have proven them to be screwed up pretty easily in the past - My path (mental & emotional), My relations with loved ones (family & friends), & my relationship with the love of my life... That's it and that's all I have or want to have control over in this life. What these all revert back to is the simple fact of just being me, because in the grand scheme of things I only have full control of 1 thing and that's my path, the one of honesty, selflessness, passion, love, courtesy, humbleness, and constant introspection. One thing that I have the power to change... that has the power to change the other 2. I can't force it, I can't fake it because they will know. I can't work harder or faster to mend the ties that have been broken, I can't even expect the opportunity.

The only thing I can do is continue my path. I am finally the bus driver with the correct route, I hope with all my being that certain passengers choose to ride again, but in the end the course it set and the drive has begun.

- Cheers

(P.S. The bus analogy was not meant to be self serving in nature, but precisely the opposite. I do not mean that all of you are my passengers along for my ride... it was meant to say that I'm here I am headed down the right path, and I can help you get to where you want to go if asked.)
