currently eating sweet potato and potato soup.
it’s pretty good…
directions to make your own sweet potato and potato soup:
step 1. take large pot, fill with water, boil water, cut up sweet potatoes and potatoes and put them in!
step 2. after about 30 minutes, take off stove and mix with hand blender and voila!
no extra ingredients necessary.
i think food that needs extra ingredients (salt, sugar, oil, butter, etc) means that it is not good food.
it’s like thinking we will become beautiful by putting on makeup or wearing nice clothes.
i think beauty is something that comes from within.
i am now eating and thinking about how i want to present this blog…
i know that i don’t want to seem like i am better than others.
i also know that i don’t want to tell others what to do.
i just want to share my experiences and thoughts.
the other day i sent an email to all the people i know (see previous post to read it).
i wanted to offer an explanation but in hindsight i think it was more of a declaration.
a declaration of what?
independence!
freedom!
some liked it.
some didn’t.
some think i am selfish and crazy.
some think i am honest and inspiring.
what do i think?
i think i am selfish, crazy, AND honest.
and just maybe those qualities are what inspiration is all about!
ultimately, it does not really matter what others think of us.
not if you want to think with your own mind and not the collective mind.
there will always be people who agree with you and support you and those that don’t.
some people will disagree with you but still support you.
remember to accept the disapproval of others!
it’s the key to empathy!
today is a very sunny day where i currently live.
i had a nice bike ride hoping i would finally get a lock for my bike!
but no, everything was closed because apparently it’s some kind of holy day (holiday).
this supposedly means the day should be dedicated to religion and god.
for most people it’s just a free day from work and a reason to get wasted the night before or stay up late.
my religion is life itself and my god is nature. everyday is a holy day.
as for getting wasted and staying up late…
i have done a lot of them both although the latter is quite relative as to when one actually wakes up.
most people never really wake up. i used to be like that.
i walked deaf, dumb and blind through life’s rainbow of sights, smells, sounds and experiences.
talk about getting wasted! what a waste of life!
to think how far we have come only to throw it all away.
and then get even more wasted because we are so wasted already?!!
does that make sense to you dear reader?
well, i got some stuff to do now.
enjoy the moment because it’s all you really have.
