so we have another hurricane coming at us; this one is potentially the real deal...but it's name is francis. how lame. i do not want to be the one to tell my grandchildren stories of the great francis. i'd rather die, but i don't want my reason to be "ryan was swallowed up by the great rage of francis". beh! besides that, sometimes i feel like i am really close to the focal point of some really cool stuff. i am not sure how to explain it.
what i mean is, i feel like some people around me are capable of so much; possibly just on the verge of genius in what they do, or what they want to do. it's not any one person, or person's ideas...it's with each other that these ideas or ventures are borne. maybe what i mean is, at this juncture of our lives we are starting to get good at knowing what would make us happy in life. maybe we have more specific dreams about our 'greater purpose'. either way, i feel this energy around me, and it's not the empty aspirations of the possibly, kinda-believe-in-it-this-week hopefuls. it's the real deal.
there's a point where hobbies morph into livelihoods. everyone seems kind of suprised by it but not THAT suprised. i think also that everyone is contributing knowingly as well as being inspired by the whole ordeal. think about anybody you know that's successfull in what they do, that you look up to. chances are they are surrounded by a bunch of other people who are doing similarly well. chances are, they helped each other do what they love out of a mutual passion and a combination of their respective talents.
i don't know why i'm thinking about this, but it's true.
