Under The Influence of Gravity
By supporting on things with good intention, you are fueling the advancement of positive ideas into the world, helping it grow, heal others, and do more in the future.
Money is time, and time is energy.
Where you spend your energy is your intention.
Art is one of my favorite things to support.
It’s an expression of someone’s creativity and vulnerability fused in one.
It will find and inspire someone, even just one person, possibly eons into the future from when it was created.
A person will pick the message up, share or even better, expand upon it - translating the message, so it may reach others, sending it back into space until gravity gives it a place to land.
What’s hanging on your wall or on your shelves?
Suspended like a conversation
or a gentle game of ping pong between friends, the ball swings back and forth across the table like a pendulum.
Suspended time, swinging back and forth
under the influence of gravity.
Games
Time flies
when you’re having fun.
The goal is not to win
But to keep playing.
The conversation of humanity.
Pendulums are used to regulate the movement of clocks because the interval of time for each oscillation, called the period, is constant.
We all share the same lightning in a bottle moment in history.
Even time is regulated by gravity.
Our measure of it is based on the rotation of planets around the sun, a function of gravity.
Coincidence?
Time is
however
a construct of man
who forgot how to trust gravity.
Close your eyes
Follow its call.
What are you here to do?
Have you ever seen time stand still?
Maybe it always does
And we’re just too busy to notice.
11 years ago I left the country for the first time headed to Germany with my friend Max. He showed me around, we spent time with friends. NYE in the city of another country, a completely different culture, speaking a language I spent years of my life learning.
It was magic.
When I got back to Chicago, my body was here, but my mind was on a different planet.
Am I here?
I picked German in school, ran into Greg a foreign language professor, met new friends from far off places, traveled abroad, and eventually shared that gift with two of my closest friends.
My brain had felt the infinity
of the positive universe.
The pendulum notion
Every bit of this exists in each of our minds.
Seeing the light bulb of inspiration glow in someone’s eyes as they share their travel m stories is my favorite feeling in the world.
I know they’re here to do something good.
Travel is the vehicle for progression.
Art is how we share the story.
Anthony Bourdain showed us that.
Physical wall or not
borders are walls within our minds.
A constructed limit of where you can go.
Travel breaks down intellectual borders and teaches us we are all here doing the same thing.
Everything you can imagine is out there.
But it’s something you have to see firsthand,
far away from comfort
With a small leap of faith
That your fellow man
Or gravity
Will catch you
If you fall
Far away from
The known safety
You call your home.
Mother Earth.
She’ll be with us
even when we leave
Take a cardinal out of the nest and let it see how the oriole lives.
They are both eating worms, building nests, feeding their children.
What makes one better than the other? Nothing.
They’re both the same.
They are both eating worms, and when they die the worms and ants will eat them. Their children will feed it to the grand children.
Nothing is taken with.
Everything is passed on.
Travel is a luxury of the mind.
To travel physically, you need energy.
To travel spiritually, you only need to close your eyes and be silent.
You can learn to travel in your mind too.
Ever been to Jamaica?
Achievement is a tower
built with the energy of many
It’s never done alone.
The physical can inspire the spirit, and that’s why I help people travel - those who don’t know how, don’t know where to go, can’t afford it, don’t have the time.
It’s time
to look at life
through a different lens.
It’s time that we spend together.
This is why
I am here
