I hate being in a box
Written by William F. DeVault on August 3, 2010 – 8:34 pm -When you are constrained, by whatever means. When I am constrained by whatever means. Perceptions, technology, whatever. I get frustrated.
Not enough to give up on things worthwhile, but one mustn’t be in a perfectly comfortable position at all times to achieve one’s goals (only one or two people in the world right now know exactly what I am talking about, but that’s okay…).
I am reminded of the scene in "Enter the Dragon" when Bruce Lee finds himself trapped in a sealed room. He doesn’t waste his focus or injure himself trying to break out, but he calmly, purposefully stride to the corner, sits down and waits.
But that doesn’t mean he was celebrating inside. Much love. This has been a remarkable day in my life when I have thought things I never thought before, said things I have never said before and stepped into states of thought and being previously unimagined and unexpected.
Life is good. Not perfect, as perfection breeds complacency. I never want to be fully sated. Although I would welcome the attempt.
