Flow

Living is striving to be what you are inside. You are what your soul is, but you have to discover what that is or more importantly who that is. Your task, whether or not you accept it, is to find your bliss, or what agrees with you so well that you lose your self in the act of doing whatever that is. When you do what you're good at you lose yourself in the flow of the moment. With me it is obviously granite cutting and writing as well as driving. All three are pure pleasure to me. When I'm doing any one of the three, I lose myself in the moment. I lose track of time and it flows like the universe. My thoughts come on and off like the light of the universe. I don't grow old in these moments, I grow young. I don't age like normal people who are so used up by my age that they're almost useless. I've never had just a job, and I never will. I like to daydream away the hours while doing something I love to do. When I am stone cutting, a great silence comes over me and I just do it, as if I automatically know what to do next. Perhaps it's just practice makes perfect, but then again it is only perfect practice that makes real perfection. When I am writing, the words just seem to flow out of me as if I were born to write them. I can usually sense what to say next as if I were in some sort of trance. I drive like I am in a trance and I love it. I usually take advantage of every turn of events to guide myself through the traffic to a perfect conclusion. It is only when I worry about the future, that I lose track of myself and what I'm here for. I am having a grand old time on earth and anyone who gets in my way had better get out quick because I will do something to make life fun again. I will not rest until I am at peace.
