Reference Points

I think reference points are going to be a theme for me this year.
Do you ever have those topics or ideas that all of a sudden continue toppling atop your radar?

Reference points are the latest game changer to enter my paradigm.
Being well aware of how our environment shapes us, I've realized the importance of objectively identifying my minds reference points. 

If I aim to be grounded in the truest possible reality, I think it a necessary exploration.  What are my reference points, how have they effected me, and what do I want them to be? 

What's the point of life, really, without understanding the foundations of the points, and layers, and perplexities, in which we choose as our references... to stand on, and believe?

Invigorate

Invigorate the...  Invigorate my...  I need to invigorate...
When was the last time your life partnered with invigoration?
What a word.
It just came to me, like a brick to the cheek.
Leaving me drooling with mind meandering profundity;
this crucial life ingredient-
where, what, how,
does it fit in to my life?
Like euphoria and spice,
these highs we chase,
just waiting for their stitching to be recognized & remembered that's already sewn into our life.

While you were watching football

I laid on my teddy bear blanket, played guitar, drank coffee, wrote poems, & thought about nothing & how to change the world.  Nothing significant like dog piles of guys in tights, but until I understand the hype, somehow I'll manage to continue to get by.

What to "be"

"Expect the unexpected, and when you can, be, the unexpected."  -Unknown

Debatable.  I was listening to a podcast with the Twitter boss, Jack Dorsey, this morning, and he said the above was his favorite quote.  I think we COULD almost always, "be the unexpected", but then if we always are trying do that, people will expect unexpected things from us, and then it would just be contrived, disingenuous, and meaningless.

How about, "...and when you can, be, unblushingly, yourself."  Cause damn it, that's often hard enough.  We got enough show boats in this world, what we really need, are real people, and the more real we are, the more different and "unexpected" I expect us to often be; in a genuine fashion of coarse.
