:: Higher ::

I had one of the most interesting conversations with an old friend who felt that she was preaching faith to me.

We haven't spoken in ages but i always feel that it's always nice to know what someone has gone through and how he/she was challenged and overcame it in the end. I champion the idea of this.. 'never-give up' thing that i'm pretty sure all of us have within us, whether as a means of life or even just as a reserve source of energy.

I'm proud of you old friend - you've come a real long way.

What we talked about really made me think of. Consequence, Direction, finding it, and more importantly consciousness on a higher level.

But i guess i'm not ready.

Funny how that now as i think about it - i think you're the only friend i've known to have reached that level of spiritual awareness; most of the people i know seem to delude themselves in blind faith.

I think - i appreciate him much more after what we spoke of last night.

I appreciate him for giving me life - and letting me know at every step of its hidden meaning - and yet-to-uncover purpose of my very own.

You said "hey yeah didn't you just message me out of the blue recently?"

Well since we place purpose and reason to incidence - then maybe i was meant to drift, maybe a little longer than most of you.

Maybe i was meant to explore.

I want to see all the beauties this life has to offer - and all its horrors as well.

Let's start in Taipei, 3 weeks' time.

I want to take pictures of the most beautiful mountain sights - eat the oranges in season, talk to the villagers (even though we probably wouldn't understand each other very much), breathe the cold air every second spent in the woods - and ultimately know that, whether i've failed or succeeded - in any aspect of this life...

...at least i know i'm still standing on my own.

Good Sunday to you.
