As I’ve aged, and have naturally become wealthier, I have to fight to stop myself from moving further away from the things I need.

It is true, that we have created a world of abundance for ourselves, but it’s an abundance of distractions that separate me from what is needed to satisfy my soul.

The extra “wealth” has not bought me more time. More time to love, to build community, to chase, to kiss, to make love, to parent, or to nourish my mind.

Rather than fighting and scratching tirelessly against the current, for the abundance that separates me from my purpose, I am attempting to create a life that enables me to ensconce myself in the beauty that resides beneath my feet, across the horizon and past the clouds.
