Grasping at Air

When you've dreamed about something for your whole life it's hard to explain the feeling of almost being able to touch it. I say almost, because sometimes it just happens to be there, on the horizon, beckoning you. You can almost feel it in your grasp, and your imagination begins running wild at the thought of being on the cusp of something great.

Time slows down to an impossible crawl once you've spotted your goals on that horizon, and the harder you stretch, the longer it seems to take...

Silent Night

Tonight as we flew from Chicago to Moline, I had a moment. The moon lit the earth with a dim, gray light, and the snow-covered upper midwest reflected the pearled luminesence towards the sky.

I love my job.

Riddles in the Dark...

Life often has more questions than it has answers. It is interesting to ponder whether the search for those answers is what drives us. Unfortunately, I feel as though the search for answers may often drive us down a road we would be better off avoiding.

If we had all the answers life would be boring indeed, and some questions are better left unanswered anyway.

The truth may be out there, but do you really want to know?
