As I walked through the darkened treeline & noticed the small, shy creatures scurrying away at my intrusion into their world, I thought on the insanity of humankind. Why are some consumed with such a lust for control? Why is there such a drive for power over others? Is is because these individuals feel a lack of control over themselves and so they compensate outwardly? I think history has proven that it ends up as nothing in the end. Times are tough. My long days have just become longer. Like everyone, financial woes are knocking me down. I will be working two jobs for awhile to get back on track. I could return to the hospital as an RN & fall back into the madness & misery. I would be making a comfortable living. That would seem the easy choice…. driven & motivated solely by money. I can’t. I won’t. Sometimes, it’s too hard. To watch people whither & fall into the dark places… is too much for me right now. Thanks for reading & checking in over the last year. I peer through the pines & see a hawk winging its way across a granite outcropping. It soars above the pettiness of man. I feel childish as I envy the hawk & its freedom. Thinking… Thanks to Brian Fick for the image. Skate- Ozzie
