…is where the music happens.
In other words, it’s your gift to the world and the fulfillment of your purposes here on Earth.
Happy happy.
Joy joy.
You’ve got to throw the boomerang for it to come back.

A Poem: Where to?
Hands resting. Waiting. Wondering where they’re best used.
Eyes opened. Ready. Eager to see something typically unseen.
Ears on. Available. Here to hear.
Feet set. Prepared. Open for sprint, walk, or waltz. Just wanting to move in, with, and towards the music.
Mouth muted. Full of questions.
So?
Where to?
Weirdo.
After another negative news story in the background this evening, I turned the television off.
Off. Not muted or paused. Off.
Jazz has always felt appropriate as the moon swaps places with the sun, so I went with Miles Davis and shifted the mood. Eventually, the playlist led to a track called ‘Weirdo’. Something changed in that moment. The air became cleaner. Creativity fluttered. The food even tasted better.
Thank you clarity. Thank you Miles. And sweet Muse, please keep leading us away from our unnecessary and often blinding routines.
In-between Aha’s: A Life of Parlay
The more one takes time to get a birds eye view above his or her life, family, or business the more they begin to discover the beautiful and unconnected dots that guide them towards more purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. This is the divine human experience we get to partake in.
I love how Eric Hoffer stated, “In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”
May we not boast in what we’ve learned, but eagerly hold high what we’re learning. Humility just may be the most overlooked source of fuel that we’ve neglected to energize us.
Are you brave enough to believe in a world that exist past letter Z? I hope so. And if so, please parlay your aha’s today into more tomorrow.
Our collective illumination is contingent on our individual illumination. Again and again.
