Launching your destiny

You walk through a cave. To get there you work your way through a jungle. To get to the jungle you board a launch that goes from the ship to the island. All moving parts working in unison. But it all starts with the desire to be present in the moment that is your life. […]

A bumper sticker from yesterday

As I drove down route 66, the old truck pulled out in front of me. We drove that way for about 5 miles. When we came to a light I noticed the bumper sticker on the rear bumper. “Kennedy/Johnson” Kennedy-Johnson. That election was 1960. So the bumper sticker had to be put on before that […]

An inside job

It is a question of passion. It is a question of commitment to passion. Passion for your time here. Passion for your experiences here. Passion for the day and the promise each one holds. Passion for those who matter to you. No one can bring passion for your life to you. It is an inside […]

Making decisions as best we can with the information, emotions and instincts at the moment. What other choice is there. We must act […]

What does it for you?

The sun was high in the noon sky. The air was still crisp. I pulled the Triumph over to a vacant building in Hygiene,Colorado. After I got off the scrambler and took the gloves, glasses and helmet off, I sat down on an old wooden bench. After about 15 minutes of watching a few cars […]

Release and embrace

Can you untether yourself from old grudges and past fears. Can you release yourself from mistakes and forgive others and yourself from being imperfectly human. This is the only way to move forward. This is the only way to live in the moment. Release the old negatives and embrace the honest effort. Look for the […]
