"Everything Must Go" Goose

New release from Goose, a band that has started to grow on me. It's an inspirational little movie and a gentle reminder that we evolved from shrews. Well played, Goose!

This thought came to me predawn:

Instead of an umbrella, I will hold up a mirror.

Not sure who needs to hear that today-- but there it is.

My intuition guides me and I trust it when making decisions. I learned that trying to control things always backfires for me. Is it all predetermined or just chance? What is the old saying-- Man plans, God laughs? There has to be some truth to that. We have a finite number of days on this earth and part of the reason I jumped off the crazy train was to "live deliberately and intensely" as Whitman so aptly put it.

If you think about life and the good years, why do we toil endlessly at our jobs and then upon retiring can no longer do the things we wanted to do? Cancer strikes, dementia, our knees go, our mind goes, and we have nothing to show for it.

Maybe I was a fool for getting out early. I know that the next chapter is going to start soon.

I trust my gut.
