Feel the aliveness.  

Thursday, July 16, 2026

You must know what you want. There is no getting around it. There is no want of money. There is only great, childish desire. There is no wanting of a relationship either. There are only great, childish dreams of playing, growing, and being free. Free to say no. Free to come and go. Free to express love and hear the word no. Free to die.

Empty dreams contain goals that don’t grow and nurture, feed and supply. Some chase the proverbial carrot on a stick, or are being chased by a chair tied to their leg. Sure, dreams feel like freedom, that is until they turn on you and trap you in your own prison. That’s because you didn’t keep envisioning new life, new hope, new outcomes–all the way to the ends of the earth. Aliveness is constant evolution.

To stop dreaming once you “get there” is a great way to poop out. You don’t go with the flow, you are flow. You’re always flowing towards new insight, new understanding, and new situations. The key to new gifts is a soft heart and a great desire for ongoing progress.

To make a start is to make a finish, but that finish evolves. Remember, all grows, decays, and evolves. If you remember this Truth you can dance right through your life. But remember, pictures come alive.

Alive is to roam, freely, to evolve, unencumbered, to dance right out of the picture, if necessary. Out of the frame, into the frame. More dancing is coming. The ebb and flow is the key to aliveness. We play with this stumbling whimsy, realizing its ins and outs are the same potential, exemplified inside or outside the frame.

There’s no loss. There’s no disappearing and appearing.

Life is eternally coming in and out of an illusory frame. 

Feel the aliveness of frame-less/shameless LIVING.
