Duplicity.
We Live In A Beautiful World,
Full Of Inequalities.
Yesterday has gone,
The future is yet to come,
Only today remains.
What if you never get another chance? To say goodbye? To try again? To do the things you love to do?
Will you have laid it all on the line? Said everything you’ve wanted to say? Done everything you’ve wanted to do?
…What if tomorrow never comes?
I’m going to steal back all of the joy that society has taken from life. With their status, and their money, their numbers, and statistics, and timelines. The bed of lies that we all seem to lay in. I’m going to lay in the sun and bask in the light of day. I’m going to walk barefoot through the valley. I’m going to show kindness and understanding instead of assuming positions of power. I’m going to punch right through all of the bullshit and get to the heart of life, beyond all the deception and lies and seeking of perfection. I’m going to find that place where two people bump into each other and both apologize. Where when two people fall together, they help each other up. Where when someone has extra to give they do, and they do so with a smile and not an expectation of something in return.
I’m going to live in that place we all know exists, but are too scared to run to.
Duplicity.
Per Merriam Webster - “a kind of deception in which you intentionally hide your true feelings or intentions behind false words or actions.”
None of this. Duplicity is a silent alarm that goes off, and you can snooze the notification but it always comes back. It’s a dark road to travel down, especially if you’re not the one driving. Be true with your intentions, and while the actions might not always be perfect — I truly believe that all actions with good intentions have a good outcome. Don’t be duplicitous in your dealings. Your outcomes will be better, I promise.
Slightly different format this week! It’s been really rainy here in the PNW so getting out and shooting has been harder, and I am getting over a sickness.
As you can tell maybe, I’ve been a little more pensive lately and re-finding my own heart in a way. It’s been a good time, and a hard time.
What is it that you think of life? Maybe write to me sometime or let me know in little tidbits over the course of time.
Always work hard at what you love, and for who you love.
I hope your week has been well.
Stay warm.
