I went for a walk today at lunch and that was terrific. I saw a white-tailed deer just standing in front of my path. It was a once in a lifetime moment and I had trouble slowing down to enjoy it. But I did enjoy it. Every moment is once in a lifetime. Nothing comes twice. We are only here once, and we are here to enjoy this life. Everything only happens once, it is all a once in a lifetime moment, one after another. Stand back and enjoy it. Get in there and enjoy it. Either way, enjoy it all, it only happens once.
And that is a happy thing that everything only happens once. Something can't be happy. Only someone.
Single file line of experience, that is how it all happens. That is how we perceive it to be and how it really is. But we often mistake seemingly similar situations for the same situation, but we are never in the same exact situation or scenario twice. Nothing is repeated exactly to the tee.
I need not be afraid of anything. I am able to be present and focused and part of humanity at all times.
I am not swayed. I am a part of the whole. There is nothing separate.
I am breathing deeply and that certainly helps.
What is here and now I must accept. Presence is my power. Presence is my power to get where I need to go. Deep breathing helps with presence.
All I know is that I am headed in the right direction. I am going the right way.
The constant pursuit of presence; the knowledge that we are all the same; we all want the same feelings of belonging and feeling to be a part of it. I can help other people feel they are a part of something large and good and important. I have that power. It is not a power it is a strength. I have that strength to make others feel included. It is all a part of moving forward, of becoming what we are meant to be.
We all have a destination and a meaning to get to. We will all get there at the right time.
Define and Refine
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
to taste
to burn
to earn
to turn inside out and make into something new
BUT YOU CAN DO IT
change begins IN HERE
change begins RIGHT NOW
we only ever experience WHAT we experience WHEN we experience it RIGHT NOW
THERE IS NO LATER
there is no BETTER TIME
START WHERE YOU ARE

The Weekend
Kick back, relax, let it all hang out, don't bother with the door, just leave it open, it's the weekend.
Spend time outdoors, commune with nature, get your head straight, don't bother with the door, just leave it open, it's the weekend.
Smell the breeze blowing through your hair, feel the sun on your skin, have a laugh at your own expense, breathe deep.
Live through yourself, enjoy whatever weather whether good, bad, or better, don't get down up whatever, don't bother with the door just leave it open, it's the weekend.
Let the sun shine if it's shining, clouds cover if their covering, spring rain if it's raining, just be.
Don't have to take time deciding just define and refine it, go for the glory, be free.
Make waves if you need them to get where you're going, if you don't know where you're going don't make waves, and try to avoid making them even if you do know where your headed, anyway. Alright.
Ride the wave(s).

Satchel II
Satchel wiped his mouth, stood up from the bar and pulled the hundred dollar bill from his pocket. He smoothed and straightened it out carefully. He drained the last of his coffee and set the mug down on the one hundred dollar bill.
"Thank you, m'am," he called, and headed for the exit. The bell on the door rang out as he left.
At the truck, Satchel stood and looked up at the sun starting to climb over the buildings. It was going to be a beautiful day.

Getting Back to Basics
I want to redefine what this space is for and why it was started. nobushel is a storehouse of creative growth and change, and traces the arc of becoming yourself. That line may not be straight or even followable but the journey will be documented here.
I write stream of consciousness at times, and leave out certain details at times that may be too personal or
There is something about living.
There is something about living.
Order and meaning work together to provide experiences that are interesting to some but not all people.
I cracked and leaked some creative goo. The goo stopped oozing, until I explored the crack further.
Are we not all cracked or damaged to some extent? Maybe not at all.
What am I learning? What have I learned? I am a part of the whole, and that is enough. I am getting the work involved, I am getting involved in the work. I am experiencing the world in a new way, in a way that is special and different than what I have experienced before.
What else is going on in the world? I am living. I am burning. I am sharing. I am surviving. I want to thrive now. I am done smoking. I have quit the weed, which is a good thing. That is the first step in a long line of steps that I must take. In fact it was not the first step at all, it is a step in the middle of the course.
In the middle of the course.... We are traveling in the world, traveling a course of study and experience. Each of us are experiencing a completely unique set of circumstances and learning from them. Sometimes we don't learn from the lessons, and so life continues to put us through the same or similar experiences.
I want to learn.
I don't want to go to school though, I learned that lesson already.
**********
So getting back to basics, what is this space for?
It is for creating.
It is for illustrating change.
It may or may not be an enjoyable ride all the time, but I think it will for the most part be beneficial at least.
Here we go (again).
