the tried and true...

there are times in life as i spin full force down various roads of discovery and adventure...i silence myself long enough to quit the energized activity i feel compelled to fill my life with...i do this intentionally to allow myself to live completely in the "now"...at these observing times i come to realize that in some instances the randomly old...the forgotten...often times even the discarded have a certain honest beauty to them...behind the dust, rust and ackward brokenness...shines a certain charm...an unpretentious regal quality that few fully perceive...

it is important that we honor the tried and true...that which has been reliable and served us well...even if they are a bit bedraggled and in need of some tender loving care...move on to the bright, new and shiny by all means...but never forget that which has brought us to the place where the bright and shiny is easily attainable...

i am not only speaking of material things...i am talking about old relationships...friends...and belief systems that in the past helped us grow...and become who we are today...
