i want so badly to believe that there is truth and love is real

so, i am back from vacation and i uncovered very little reflective thought while i was there...but...

on the plane ride home, i sat in the window seat...and i looked down at the tampa bay - and the surrounding areas between tampa and nashville - and i saw the little boats and the little streets and houses with their pools and yards and their cars and i was in awe.

there is a world we know nothing of...we live here or you live there and you have your life and i have mine. and there is very little chance that our paths will ever cross...

but anyway, back to what i was saying...in those houses, are families...people living lives just like you and i. and they are struggling or they are happy...but i think there are more sad people than people who are truly happy (but thats just what i think)

so, this is what i think and maybe i'm way off...or maybe im just ignorant...but i'm sure there are people out there with bigger problems than ours. but being in a plane, thousands and thousands of miles above sea level made me stop and think about how small i am...and how truly insignificant eveything will be when i'm old and gray.

i dont want to be old. i want to stay young.

I know what you mean about... everything you said. I tend to have a lot of those same thoughts when I'm riding on a plane.

I think that as people grow older sometimes they grow weary of life. But that doesn't happen to everyone. The senior adult group at my church (First Baptist) seem like they have just as much fun as the youth, not to mention that all my grandparents are still going strong. I don't think there's any reason to lose hope.

that is exactly how i feel over here . . . so many people living their lives just like i am living mine on complete oposite sides of the world . . . so close and yet so far apart. it's just how it is, i guess.
