"Any man who knows a thing, knows he knows not a damn damn thing at all. And every time I felt the hurtin, I felt the givin gettin me up off the wall" K'NAAN
The moment at which we begin to believe that we know something for sure, we put ourselves in the position to be utterly let down or pleasantly surprised. I want to be surprised. I want to live my life without expectations to restrain my experience. I want to love with all of my heart. I want to crash and burn because I sought after the surprise, and I was willing to dive in head first. I want to live in a way that lights me on fire and when people see me, they wonder why I'm glowing. I want life to be raw and I want to feel the world with all of my senses.
Something as simple as experiencing the ocean with all of my being. I was crying as I listened to the stones tumbling back out into sea. Felt the mist of the crashing waves on my feet. Felt the thunder shake my entire body. And saw the lightening illuminate the expansive horizon. Humbled by the power and unwavering fidelity of the ocean. Overwhelmed.
a life on fire.
