I think with age cultivates wisdom or at least that is how it feels. When we are younger we are always looking for the next thing, the next answer. With age there is a resting place in the not knowing. With the lessons we learn or have to relearn until we figure it out, we know what we won’t accept any longer.

“People can only treat us bad if we let them”, my adaptation of Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote.

The simple fact of the matter is that bad behavior is bad behavior. Weather in our relationships, our families, our friendships and our workplace. The time has come, at least for me, to not allow this in my life.

So, releasing cleanses the soul, or at the very least gives us the strength to reach for the stars. Hope and humor are my armor as I walk in the world. Hope that as we know better we can be better. As the great poet Maya Angelou taught us.

The quest for knowledge, truth and the best in humanity is my journey. I hope at the very least expressed through my art. I trust that when the path gets rocky or splits I will walk into what is to come next.

Share with me, yout thoughts, your wisdom, and your journey.
