DOOR TO NOWHERE

Some days you want to escape
to a place far away.
Meet new people,
Leave old baggage behind.
Open the proverbial door
to see if the grass is greener
on the other side.
But most of the time it isn’t.
A door balanced at the edge of a pier
might not be holding the answers to your dreams.
Home may be the place that has had the answers all along. 

A BALANCING ACT

Torn between two lives.
What you want.
And what others want of you.
A tough balancing act.
Full of uncertainty.
How to keep balance?
How to walk the fine line?
Do you cut yourself into half
like in the tale of Solomon?
Can you please everyone?
No. You can’t.
You must please yourself first.
Then you can solve the rest of
the world’s problems.
Balance carefully.
And balance wisely.

DOES A POOL BRING HAPPINESS?

Do you believe life would be better
if you had a mansion with a large pool?
If you had tons of money to spend
on anything you wanted?
Sounds nice doesn’t it?
But I wonder if these people
are any happier or more
content than we are.
Maybe they are still not
satisfied and want more.
Maybe human nature is to always want more.
Following this logic, these people are not
any happier than we are but are just more comfortable.
