(reflections - 2004)
Too many people in life feel it is a pure struggle, they stand in the elevator of life staring at the numbers as they pass, attention fades...glossed over. The door opens, they get off.
Never speaking to anyone, the tenants of the elevator stand desperate and rushing to finish the ride.
STOP WATCHING THE NUMBERS!
Turn around. Look. People. Life. Soul. Pursuits. Successes. Failures. Love. Loss. Life.
Forget about the numbers and enjoy life. Talk amongst the people in your elevator, learn from them and return in your teachings. Live life.
The elevator can be forgotten. TAKE THE STAIRS! It may be harder but it is slower, you can stop and rest and go at your own pace. Talking with ones going up with you and talk to the ones returning from above. Experience humanity. Save electricity and forget about who designed the elevator, and who has the fastest one.
Walk you walk, talk your talk, and open your eyes...you will find that the elevator is covered in a metal box while the stairs and stairwells are made of glass entirely. Feel free to look all ways. Lessons are there to be learned and taught.
