Today's Tendril...

Age is just a number, until the mirror "proves" otherwise (or provides other lies).

Today's Tendril...

We spend far too much time trying to get into the spotlight, or to be the "I" of the limelight—to become the "star" for all to see—and not enough time trying to stay in the God-light (but doing a fine job of acting like a deer in Satan's headlights).

Today's Word is...

Positive.

As in:
  • Positive charge (positively charged)
  • Positive thinking (the glass is half full)
  • Positive outcomes (the green path)

Today's Tendril...

It's not the skeletons in the closet that should scare you.

It's the ones in your head that you should fear.

Today's Tendril... Bridges

Burning bridges — stupidity.

Letting bridges fall into disrepair — apathy.

Never building bridges — solitude.

Washed out bridges — fate.

A Pilgrim in Progress (A Prayer, of Sorts (Remixed))

God,

Catch my tears,
Cleanse them of their fear,
Their pain,
And their sadness,
Then return them to my soul,
So that I may once again,
Know the completeness,
Of a pilgrim in progress.

Amen.

Today's Tendril...

God is not afraid of a microscope, a stethoscope, or a telescope.

The scientific mind and the spiritual heart are part of the same soul.

And consider this: What came before the Big Bang?

God.

Danger! Identity Amalgamation

The danger of interaction.
A little of you rubs off on me.
A little of me can be seen in you.
Identity loss? Or, identity amalgamation?

The danger of appreciation.
Liking leads to evaluating,
Which leads to understanding,
Which can lead to adaptation, then incorporation.
Identity loss? Or, identity amalgamation?

The danger of influence.
Teacher. Role model. Leader. Hero.
Whose voice is the one in your head?
Identity loss? Or, identity amalgamation?

The danger of imitation.
To be derivative.
To be a second rate knockoff.
To cross the line and become a thief.
Identity lost. Identity theft.
Game over.

Today's Tendril...

Each breadcrumb,
Each footprint,
And each mind-spark,
Contains a little piece of the milestone ahead —
Even if that piece
Is nothing more
Than the essence
Of the "what is yet to be."
