today i welcome you all to my search for vision, passion and greater knowledge. Up until today this search was only shared between select individuals and close friends whom have now urged me to extend my vision and passion with the world. By doing this I hope to widen my frame of knowledge and ideas and grow my passion and vision for life even greater.

Passion, to me, is a metaphysic feeling, compelled by an inner desire, matched with yearning to overcome, and a will to make it happen. Not text book, of course, but that’s my reality. 1) What drives me to get up every morning is an overwhelming desire not to watch time float idolly by, but to become one with existence, and taste it - good and bad (preferrable not bad). 2) I’ve pursued most of my passions, but for those that have eluded me. Those, unfortunately would be the desire to cross paths with others I’ve admired, loved, or cherished. Much of my life has been interaction, and I can say there are some unexplored territories I wanted to explore at a point in my life, but was unable. 3) Always - I’ve lived in Washington, DC. 4) Yes. But it’s not so much the waiting as the missing. I’m upset at not meeting my next benchmark. 5) Dreaming is my connection with my inner feelings. My thoughts illicit the many things my mind is hungry for. The one thing great about this is that I do not have to be accountable for my dreams -
- but when I willingly dream (left to daydreams), I think about the many possibilities life has to offer, and the many people who are a part of those possibilities. No regrets - just rememberance. The future is there, I have only to extend my arm and it is there for the taking. 5) To teach; to take everything I have learned, and share it with those who want it. Now, I can’t say that I could teach many a thing, but there are those out there who could use some of what I know. There are those who could care less about what I know, but in the end - to gain knowledge, to grasp at it and partake of it - it all comes down to what I have to offer. Would you like some?
Thank you for sharing your search with the faceless. It’s a courageous step into the soul.
