The day begins with a bang.

Actually it's wet out as it's been raining most of the night.

Now to continue the effort with a positive attitude. The effort? Yes, the streaming, steaming, multi-colored journey we are all mainlining. The concentrated energy of our mundanely/exciting endeavor to achieve.

I am, of course, all signed up and ready to mesh and engage. But, may I ask, where is it that I need to start?

Why are you silent? Have you no nourishment to offer me? Have you no mercy, no guidance?  

We are all cast adrift in a sea of the unknown to fight for survival and strive for justice. Where are our weapons and provisions? Where is the leadership, the instructions and the discipline?

Why are there so many questions and so few answers?

Today as I reflect on my past I wonder at the varied and circuitous path that has led me here. Here to the now. The now that is the ‘right now’ time of my life. The past is another now, another day's now that is long gone.  Tomorrow is the now to come. I cannot live the past or future now. I must be here, now and live here, now. I must make the best of it or pay the price for sloppy living with its depression and pain. I desire no pain. My decision is to make no new pain now, or in the future.

So one need only to apply the lessons of those past 'now's' and proceed with a new vigor and determination.

Come on, let’s go!
