Continued from Early thoughts about 2006 part 1 ...
We have lost many people this year. Far too many to name and their impact has been felt all to hard. In ways this has been a normal year, but then again not. It’s interesting that in writing this blog I have noticed that the years pass more quickly now as I am approaching 40, yet the days can drag on far longer than when I was in my 20’s.
Personally there has been a lot that has happened. I learned how deceptive some people can be, even when I thought I knew how to spot that nature in a person. I’ve come a step closer to attaining my lifelong goals in the material sense; and have come to terms with not attaining some of the more grand non-material ones. I’ve improved my writing (I think) and with it regained the deep thought I had in my erratic youth. I remember that looking at the world from the top down is not always the best answer and that others may not see it that way. Maybe most important for me I have found a way to give back something to the world at large and the Black African American and Latino/Hispanic communities that have given me so much so far in my life.
This blog, and my other sites, are not about wealth. It would be nice, but if it never comes I lose nothing. It’s about sharing the knowledge I have and continue to gain. But if the Buddha were to speak in a cave and nothing was around the wisdom would be lost to the wind. [Not a proverb, just something I thought up]
I hope to expand the visitors to the blogs and my online store in 2007. I hope that the upcoming year will be one filled with positive events, or at least more positve than negative. Perhaps this new year will signal the end of beligerent terms used as casual language, the end of wars of words and bullets started in the particular name of God, and maybe this new year will see the emergence of celebrities and entertainers recoginzing the impact they have on the youth – especially those of Black African American and Latino/Hispanic heritage.
I’ll speak more about the year 2006 has been in the days to come. Until then…
This is what I think, what do you think?
