I've been trapped in my mind more than usual lately. Thoughts of surfing powerful swells or careening the sides of towering mountains occupy my mind while corporate America sucks me deeper in. A cosmopolitan man, I might be, but some wisdom still stands: we are truly prisoners of our possessions and perhaps our wants and fears as well.
Living an examined life isn't always the easiest way but I know no other path. Following the example of environmentalists, I want to live deeply and see the world through my own eyes. Traveling and experiencing cultures and people, I desire to become lost in awe as opposed to become lost in the weight of worldly possessions.
