What a Difference a Year Makes

I opened up a Facebook page and it asked me if I wanted to share a picture from a year ago. The picture was of me smoking my first cigar in Amsterdam last year.

Wow, so much has changed in the last year.

Evolution of Man, Dominant and Alien has come. Taking me on experiences, understandings and pitfalls of major proportions.

Experiences gained and given have been detrimental in my journey, others journeys and growth. From teaching, leading and learning. The pendulum just kept swinging.

Love. Well love took a turn for the worse for others. For myself love was put back in a safe place. While dispensing it on a sliding scale and only in the reciprocated strength now. Love don't live here anymore has been played like taps also.

I smile at the memories of Amsterdam and I also realize that created the beginning of the end. Mixed feelings, emotions and happenings led to this path.

Here a year later I feel like a gaijin in this land. But that is understandable since I have evolved like a Gundam into something completely transcendent and other than.

The decadence of absence, distance and non communication has bestowed a crown upon heads now of revealing proportions.

I am thankful. Even though the pain and the hurt.
