Day 140s: Choosing to burn ever brighter … (September 16, 2019)

And then the day grew longer as I entered the oddly-vibed town of Kingsport. And then I came across a fellow home-free friend to whom I gave the last few pieces of my recently received vegan pizza. And then the Sun began to set – and still I walked on for Peace …

Children have a lesson adults should learn – namely, to never be ashamed of failing, but rather to get up after falling and simply try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so selfishly ‘safe,’ and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid. And that it is why so many of us indeed fail … And yet life must be no brief candle to you. Rather, let it be a sort of splendid torch which you have got a hold of for the shortest of moments – so short and priceless that I you to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the future.” ~ inspired by Malcolm X & George Bernard Shaw
