“Moon beams we can dream on, at the setting of the sun And the stars we can wish upon, when the working man is done Sunsets we could cry over, have our trouble’s on the run But more than these miracles above, good people, we need love Everybody needs the love, love, love” – Drive-by Truckers

“All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.” – Pope Paul VI

06.08.14 Somewhere above Someplace else.

Living life is struggling with the potential of youth and the pragmatism of adulthood; all the while striving to live as though the later didn’t make the decisions.

There is very little lasting happiness that comes from true pragmatism. Happiness comes from feeling like what you’re doing means something.

We all want to “push the needle.” We want to mean something. We need to mean something to those we care about. We need to mean something to the world. We hope our actions put up a body of work to which the world reflects value, love and appreciation.

I think more than money. More than power. More than sex, people want to be truely appreciated and understood.

To stand up next to all the greatness of life around us and be rendered insignificant is worst of all fates. We want to touch the world and feel as though we left something, be it a fingerprint or a crater.
