spinning
i have found myself anxious lately about several decisions that i feel are life determining. it is interesting that i place so much weight on these "large decisions" when in reality it is the daily small decisions that determine my experience and shape me. it is the decisions to open up in a conversation, pursue a new friend, do an act of kindness, take a risk that create life.
i am hoping to do better at pursuing my passions these days. i am at a place for the next few months were i have a ton of freedom and pretty much nothing holding me back. no job, no significant other, no rent, just freedom. i want to take lots of risks, spend time with friends i care about, and go after the things i have been dreaming about. i want to put my creativity to use.

palestine
living and thriving in Bethlehem right now. people here have been amazing. i have experienced a very desirable spirit in others. a spirit that seeks to learn, host, and ultimately love. i seek peace for them.
what are ways i can spread the news to others and care for the Palestinians i have met? i have been inspired and fascinated by what others have been doing. over here we have seen some works by Banksy. art is a great way to reach people. it definitely reaches me. check out this video from BBC.
i have been thinking about the incredible and scary power of the mind and the heart, and the combination of the two. on the side of fear, we can so easily be tainted and clouded by judgment. judgment leads to unreasonable action and/or lack of action.
over here i have been more in tune with myself. many distractions have been removed from view. in my relating with a friend, DJ, here i have been aware of the things that separate us and tools of relational hardship. we are vulnerable and fear sharing the things that make us uncomfortable. we fear misunderstanding and the unknowing of what others think. we worry about other's perception and try our best to manage the perceptions of us. why do we try to do this when in reality all attempts are futile. we are less affected by these perceptions when they are not verbalized but silent they are still existent. i want others to see the real me and like me. with my friends i want to develop clarity through transparency, an agreement of realness. through practice this can eliminate the fear. what if we could be completely free? i think we can try.

vast potential
there are amazing limitations set by society regarding our creativity. the majority that cannot draw a good picture of a person would say that they are not creative. this is not true. everyone is creative. discovering one's mode of creativity can be tough and is not always encouraged. we are often told to be certain ways, pursue certain jobs, and not venture out of our comfort zone. and pretty much all of us are people pleaser's so we do what we're told.
our creativity does not have to conform to a paradigm. we do not have to be limited by the shortcomings of our verbal language. lets try to live free and let our creativity develop. the vast majority of a person's creative potential is developed i believe. so let us encourage and be encourages to pursue interests, venture off in risky directions, and find the beginning of our vast potential.

Click, Click, Pull
last weekend was God and Guns. it was awesome. it was out at a gorgeous resort in Easton, Maryland, located on a peninsula. the view was fantastic. the weekend was filled with shooting, fellowship, and more shooting. it great to be able to connect with some remarkable men and hear their stories. there were a few characters that stick out in my mind whom i will not forget. i learned that shooting shotguns at clay pigeons, with a cigar in my mouth, is an activity that i enjoy very much and one that i hope to partake in on many more occasions. but the best part of the weekend by far was the people i met and the friendships i started. i look forward to keeping in touch with these guys. check out the video of me shooting. i was born a marksman.
