Inner Dialogue

I so agree with this:

the last couple of years have taught me that life is a lot bigger than i thought it was. i wish i knew how to transplant that idea into other people's heads. i look into other people's worlds sometimes, and i feel that same way that i feel when i watch a 6'10" guy that weighs 350 pounds squeezing himself into a yugo (remember those cars?). it's like, "wow! how do you fit in there?!" then i remember that it was me just a couple of years ago (sounds a little like your comment in your myspc email about things changing so much in a year). in the last three years i would say that my life has taken a 540 degree turn followed by a few +/- 36.8 degree turns and some other stuff that got all mixed in. the end result was one ridiculously messy situation, but i realized that life is only interesting when things don't go as planned. (SK)

It makes me sad when I come across people with tunnel vision, the ones crammed into the Yugos. If they would just open their minds and their hearts to the possibilities, they could find themselves in a world without walls, one without limitations. It reminds me of Jonathan's flock, content to scavenge on the beach instead of soaring sky-high in search of a better life. They didn't even know what they were missing, because their sight was too limited for them to see beyond their self-imposed boundaries. How do we help those entrenched in their world view see that the "universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest"?
