A motivated mind can put mountains in motion, leaving a valley of streams that lead to rivers, rivers of possibilities teaming with life and purpose. To get there, to achieve, and give back is my focus. Even though the current is steady and my waters are quiet, I'm awaiting monsoon rains to come and flood my valley turning my work, my rivers into rapids wild enough to capsize any negativity. Doubt ships, haters and pessimist try to inhibit my focus, my flow, my creativity. As harsh as it may sound. I wish they drown themselves in the stench of there own jealousy.... But also birth again; soaked, dripping in positivity, and limitless possibility believing the best for themselves and others while swimming toward the oceans of opportunity that await them.
You can join me. They can join me. These passions these waters can be shared if we dare to put our ego aside. Our minds can put the entire world in motion, opening up universal possibilities, and limitless boundaries that leaves the void of space open for us to create and design our perfect destiny. If we believe in each other we are an unstoppable tidal wave shaping and molding everything we touch. I Believe In We. The we that can accomplish all things.

I say learning it is the hard part, keeping it requires attention and adjustments. I feel at this point in my life I have learned more about patience then ever before. The quote that brought me to this point was one I actually heard before but had never really thought into it enough to discover the hidden meaning that ultimately changed my perspective about life. The quote "It's not about MAKING IT, but it's about THE CLIMB". Before I looked in to this quote I was easily discouraged about things I technically could not control. Most of these things had to do with finances and lack of much needed music equipment. But after hearing this quote I reevaluated my thought process, changed my entire outlook of what I wanted to accomplish and added the true meaning of patience to the equation. I realized that patience wasn't about sitting around waiting on something to magically happen, which was something I did as a child.
I think back to the times when my mother and father would tell me that I couldn't have something that I wanted, and that I had to wait and be patient. At that age I took "wait, be patient" as never.
It's unfortunate that we carry that same attitude into adulthood making the process of waiting be a negative and defeated experience. Many of us give up when the idea of being patient should be embraced.
Patients isn't about being at a stand still waiting. But it's an opportunity and a time to work toward whatever it is your waiting on. I'm sure you would agree that sitting around doing nothing is quite boring and you quickly get tired of doing it. So why not make patience an action more so than a waste. To me sitting around calling yourself being patient is not patience at all if your not doing anything to get yourself closer or more prepared for what it is your waiting on. So in this all I ask is that you make your wait an opportunity. Enjoy "THE CLIMB". That's the opportunity. Let moving higher and getting better be your action while you wait.
In my climb I'm getting better and better at what I do everyday. I get closer and closer to my summit, even though its hard. Whatever your mountain of accomplishments or goals are. You must always progress and move up... Keep climbing and enjoy the fact that you'll be stronger then ever when you reach your summit.

Never have I felt the world move with such
violence. Every tremor every shake leaves me more uncertain If there is an end. Our countries wage war with each other as if to contend but for an unpermanent prize that will only birth death in the end. Countries fight for a trophy of power only to leave a blood stained trail to victory while leaving there very own behind to fit the war bill. I see now the entire world is shaken, not just my own. So while I lay in the darkness, in the dust, and in the creeping scent of death. I prey that the world for just a second stop its violent shaking. To search for my daughters... My sons... My wife... YOUR family,
and then me.
We left with broken hearts and bad memories. So to think that you would care to meet me here is a surprise. We were young and love was blind, but now we are older and wiser. So why not test our experience, give it another shot and hope for the best. Only time will tell If this could work out; I am optimistic, and you never know what could grow from this.
It hurts that I can't have this conversation with you, you've moved on, and I am in regret...
Six string my strings fingers to the board callused tips bitter sweet fret board worn. Finger prints lacquer chips, ivory wearing down. Six strings weak but they'll last another round. Pick guard, guard down bare to the wood. Six strings my strings I would'nt trade it if I could.
