I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where were are going to, but the miracle in in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you are going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

I recently saw the movie Birdman. 
I loved it. Althougth it is a “dark comedy” It reminded me that in life one of our main tasks/struggles is to ignore the noise in our head and FLY. The film was so honest. My main takeaway was just that. Simple. Light in the midst of all the dark.
We are supposed to fly.

People. People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your life, touch it with love or carelessness and move on. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why you ever came into contact with them. There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole. Children leave parents, parent leave friends. Acquaintances move on. Friends love and move on. You think of the many who have moved into your hazy memory. You look on those present and wonder.
I believe this is all part of a master plan. People move in and out of our lives, and each leaves his mark on the other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you.
So far this is who I know that I am...
