Sometimes things just don't come around.

There was this time once I was just doing my thing and living and being fairly happy and feeling pretty strong and relatively whole.
Then I found this thing and thought, hey man I've been looking for something like this I think. But there were some strings attached to it and I couldn't get them off so I could have this thing just how I wanted it. So I said, hey, maybe these strings are part of what I have been looking for but I just didn't know it. But there was this other voice that said, this might not be it.
Any way I shifted my course so I could have this thing I thought I wanted. I really did like it so much sometimes and sometimes I came back to the thought, this might not be it.
In the end I guess it wasn't it. But it sure was a wonderful thing and amazing and beautiful sometimes. Now I'm looking at the place where I changed course and thinking that was a pretty good place and I think I'll try to go back there. But I really wanted that thing and I wonder how it will feel picking things up where I left off back then. Sometimes things just don't come around.
Maybe tomorrow, in the bright morning light, I'll wonder why I needed to write this.

The thing is entirely besides the point. If I had more time, I'd add some thoughts, but this ambitious person has a department to go run. 
You have to be in the know. 
 Peace.

Some things are never meant to be in the first place.

Doesn't matter. It's just the idea. Maybe you can remember a time this has happened to you.
It's all about that inner voice and how and if you choose to listen to it and how your history affects your present if you can't reconcile it.

Mmmm, I think knowing the thing would help me personally get a better idea of what you are talking about.
I have personally not really done anything like that. Though sometimes I feel I might have been happy living in ignorance, then I tell myself that is rediculous. Because it is. I think.

I'm not sharing that info. If you've never experienced this then it doesn't pertain to you.

I wasn't really implying you should share it, I was just saying I felt I had a limited understanding. I appreciate you don't want to share the info or you would have said it in the first place.
Either way, good luck getting whever you want to go. Trusting intuition seems more powerful than we give it credit.

That's what I'm talking about. Trusting the inner voice and being able to recogonize it through all the programs, fears, desires, etc. And then the willingness to act on that inner voices direction.

some truisms are not truth but truth-ish, or "like true, man." one of them is "you can't go back." another is that "string is one of those things that gives space solidity".
causal strands linkages and relationships
well you can have an empty stage or a parade may come by.
something about coexistence within (the self) that relates directly with coexistence without (others too).
anyway enough for now I am such a string (worm).
