…. I find myself driving down a quiet road on the way home…  Ahead of me, I see a man standing in the middle of the road; his back is turned away from me.  I continue driving slowing down as I approach him hoping he’ll notice me and get off the road to let me pass…  He doesn’t. 

 I find myself a few feet from him…  I can’t go any further…  I roll the window down and loudly project my voice to him, “hey, get out of the way so I may pass.”  The man slowly turns around.  I find myself looking into the face of myself…  His eyes melancholy and lost… His face looks strained as if he is trying to figure some complex mathematical function to answer one of life’s most perplexed questions…

I realize a lot of the time when traveling on the path of life that the person that most often blocks me from moving forward… is myself…  I need to learn to get out of the way of myself.

I heard a similar story from a friend and was taken aback at how much I was able to relate to it…  I find this very short story simple yet deeply profound and illustrates so eloquently how I feel sometimes when I am stuck on stupid being self loathing, self-deprocating and selfish and self centered!  I took that story and made it something of my own…

Cool stuff…  My but I feel like an artist expressing from the soul for the first time in a long time.
