. . .I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. . .I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. . .You learn to take life as it comes at you. . .
Determinism has never been one of my things. I have always held the belief we controlled our destiny and to this point, it is our responsibility to proceed without caution. I know sometimes circumstance gets the better of us, we say no when we should say yes; we have all been there. I try to take more time as I get older to appreciate things I may have overlooked before. And its hardly because I think time is running away, it is more because I prefer to look forward to what is in front of me, actively, not in reflection. When I think about this, I think about the 'chance' of the friends I have and all the ways they support me, when best and when worse. Maybe it isn't chance after all, but more an opportunity. Thanks.
