the long road



all I want is a car, a CD, a camera and a long road leading to somewhere,
where i can shap-shot the scenes and piece them together
in the album on my coffee table at home
with a glass of tea and William Fitzsimmons in the background, 
kneeling and placing the pieces of this journey,
of this life together... 
not alone, but comfortable.
searching but confident
thinking but not doubting,
wondering but not knowing...

with the boxes still packed, and the messages stacked high
on the machine...
just being

choosing to live

for a couple years now, I have been struggling with finding a way to be HAPPY with what I have. With the world constantly throwing out NEW and GREAT things ------ THINGS... I feel like I HAVE TO HAVE THEM to be happy... Now this is completely MY fault. Instead of trying to pair down and enjoy the simple things, I let myself get caught up in the new and next big things. The picture ABOVE is a good example. Like how I tied that in? :) Just right now, I was simultaneously looking on Facebook (which I was trying to look at less of) and also looking online at Nike, REI, Zappos and Amazon for new running shoes. I have probably 3 pairs of running shoes in the garage, but they aren't "Good Enough Anymore." Everyday, new shoes are coming out and I feel like my old white plain shoes are lacking.
