Conceptual Frameworks and Reality

More yellow cars than you can shake a stick at! Where’d they all come from!?

What!?

Well, just that. What it means is that we are what we see, believe, understand, recognize, and is relevant and important, and impactful, to our daily personal and professional lives.

In short… if we’re not interested in yellow cars, we simply don’t see them. Should we suddenly develop a insatiable desire to own one, then suddenly we see yellow cars everywhere, and we wonder where the heck they all came from so suddenly.

This happens to me a lot since I do tend to get absorbed by things that before meant nothing to me, and as a result simply did not exist in my own reality.

So what’s this all about?  Why is this important? What bearing at all does this have on Cross, Us, and the Great-Big-Wide-Open-World?

Well, give me a day or two and I will explain!

See you shortly.

Here’s a little bit to get the ball rolling…

Bucket List

What would I put in my bucket
That may not already be there
But things that I want to accomplish
In the great big wide world out there.
Oh to slide down the dunes of Sahara
And to swing from the vines of Belize
And to talk to a Mountain Gorilla
In Virunga amongst all of the trees.
And to see a wild dingo pursue
A wallaby and perhaps kangaroos
In the outback in the middle of Oz
Where stands the majestic Ayers Rock.
Then from there to Antarctic I’d go
To see penguins migrate in rows
Across icepacks and snowfields so vast
In temperatures in which we’d not last.
Then to Fiji I’d sail a small boat
That I’d build using balsa and rope
On the warm water shores of Peru
Just as Heyerdahl himself did before.
Then I’d sail as the Kon Tiki did
As those brave men once did when they lived
As they tried to prove to us all
That Fijians all came from Brazil.
And of course I would look for a place
That no one has yet left their trace
And from their I would look back at my life
And I’d smile without grudge or regret.
