Today's Tendril...

You can daydream about slaying the dragon or you can agonize about being eaten by the dragon.

Perspective is a curious thing.

Today's Tendril...

"Clarituity" —

One part clarity.

One part acuity.

Entirely silly.

Totally unnecessary.

Three Streams for Today

Complication is the product of an over-active imagination.

Simplicity is the product of filtered thinking.


I hear you shout, "I will never—ever—compromise!"
But living is a never-ending symphony of truths and lies.

So, then, how do you know what is fake and what is real,
When you're neither a conductor, nor a musician,
But merely an instrument,
That is tuned to
—and played by
The wills of others?

Today's Tendril...

Every decision in life need not be by committee.

Be willing to take the bull by the horns when your heart and your head are in agreement, provided that you're also willing to accept that when you mess with the bull, you might get its horns.

Today's Tendril...

Each of us needs to draw a line in the sand at one point or another.

Unfortunately, we don't always pay attention to the rising and the falling of the tides.

Addicted to Dreaming

The world outside your window has no true appeal.
As far as you have seen, there's no fun in the "real."
What's best is to be connected and to be dreaming online.
It's more than just a digital domain — it's a reality divine.

Today's Tendril...

Conspiracy serves a purpose, as does urban legend, science fiction, and folklore.

But when those things are held as fact, or touted as truth, is when the rabbit hole has, in fact, swallowed you whole.

Today's Tendril...

It's ok to let fear guide you from time to time.

It's not ok to let fear define you all the time.

The Creation Wells

Creating from pain — easy.
Creating from anger — easy.
Creating from love — easy.
Creating from conflict — easy.
Creating from desperation — easy.
Creating from safety — easy.
Creating from the nightmare — easy.
Creating from elation, epiphany, or fantasy — easy, easy, and easy.
Creating from the mundane,
the steady-state,
the ever present now,
is allusive,
and, at times, a Herculean effort.

Today's Tendril...

To be a "wrench in the works" or to be a "wrench that works" is entirely up to you.

Today's Tendril...

You can be a lightning rod for good, or a lightning rod for evil, so choose your storm wisely.

Today's Tendril...

Those that believe it's more important to be seen than heard have nothing (of value) to say anyway.

Today's Tendril... (Remix)

Guilt and regret can either be agents of positive change, or lifelong shackles and chains.
