The art of life

Is there any greater liberty than knowing the choice you want to make, and then making it?

Perhaps in close contention is the stumbling upon a paralysing fear, only to quieten it all with a conclusive and calm resolve.

And I sit here not in the absence of action, but seek to craft and whittle and taper the wooden block that keeps pen from paper, and I from satisfaction.

Inspire and goad me from resignation, unshackle the apathy that binds animation, and I dare you to find me for a moment retired ’til this writing is worthy of being desired; a reason discovered, and a purpose acquired.

The meaning of life is to experience living, so surrender your heart to the art of its giving.
