As I open my eyes,

As I open my eyes, I slowly become aware of the reality I face. I become aware of who I am and who I might be. I become aware not because I know but, precisely because I do not.


Every day is a time to find myself and to explore the boundaries of my within. An everlasting journey in my story. Everlasting? Yeah, it sounds about right. I do not know when my journey will end and therefore my journey has an infinity of possibilities within the finite lifetime I have.

As I open my eyes a ray of light caresses my face greeting me to a new day. As I come to my senses, I lay my eyes into the most beautiful canvas there is, I feel the warmth of my soul touch every aspect of my ego and invoke the truth of what I know. Once again, I am here. I am here to be me. I am here to change the world one act at a time. One word at a time.


As I open my eyes, I become the construct of a reality I can change. A reality that changes me and defines me. A reality I also define. I become the artist for my soul and the architect of my time. I become the genesis of innumerable ripples in the space-time of causality. Just as others have changed me, I have changed others. Just as others have made me better, smarter, and wittier so I have made others. Change is going to come; change is constant, and change is made.

My ripple may not do much today, tomorrow, or even in a week but, over time I hope that every ripple I create produces a positive everlasting chance in those I touch. In those I love.


As I open my eyes, I realize how lucky I am to be here and to be able to produce a change.
