chase the moon

You deserve a Thursday life and a Thursday life full of adventures beyond the ordained journey that is surviving- into the great intangible and almost mystifyingly unmarked enterprise that is thriving. On this very day you are breathing the same air as more strangers than your transient brain can even begin to imagine or understand and each of these extraordinary people have a reality that is very much their own, trying to find a place in the sea of facts and ideals and beliefs that make up the world around us—how incredibly humbling is it to know that your reality not only challenges that of your next door neighbor or of the barista who supplies your daily caffeine intake or the person who cut you off on the freeway this morning, but that it is this very miscommunication, this necessary disagreement, that makes our temporary world spin each day.

 I am only a person and I know no more than the rest of them, but my reality runs on the idea that there is no such thing as just a Tuesday and every day is remarkable if only for the fact that it is the only march third 2007 or November 11 1924 or july seventeenth twothousandanything that has ever and will ever exist. Let this moment serve as a reminder that the sun and the moon do their job with passion and excellence each day without fail simply so you and I can live our lives in their light—we are given an empty day full of potential each morning; it is our pressing task to make something of it.

I have lived before in routine and I hope to never return to a place where I allow myself to become satisfied with monotony and only mastering the art of getting by. Apathy and familiarity are the easiest of traps to yield to and sometimes all it takes is a moment of spontaneity to shake the tempting ideals that don’t belong in your life—don’t be afraid to chase the moon, don’t shy away from the other side of the bridge—wakeupanddosomething.
