Airport arrival

imageWe are what we believe.Think positive

 

As I sit at the airport in Philadelphia waiting for transportation and time to hit the 3 pm mark, I can’t help but observe people as they walk by.  I read an earlier post about people watching and character development.  I must admit I never thought about it in those terms.  I agree, character development in some of our writings require observation.

I am glad I had the time to sit, observe, and think.  It allows me time to enjoy the moment and treasure each step. I have learned a lot about publishing, marketing, writing, public speaking. In the hussle of business it is nice to sit, be, and observe the interaction. The family waiting for a loved one, the lady visiting Philadelphia for the first time much like myself, the workers coming and going.

It is time for me to keep walking. This is the first experience in a state I had never visited before. Life is like that. People come and go, they stand they sit, catch a flight, flash a smile. Life is built from moments and we choose our moments much like we choose the characters we write about.

 

Excited to learn

Last time I saw Mandela..he was going strong at 90

What I liked the most about Mandela. The inner peace that reflected through his smile and his eyes. The ability to overcome his situation without loosing himself. His quotes and his love and philosophy on people. Proving the mind and negativity is the biggest prison, not the physical bars that held him in captivity. He defined his situation and not the opposite. In the end humanity is worth it. We all deserve life.

Last time I saw you
You were going strong at 90
the person who moved the world
With his bare hands
And a smile
Which moved us all
Which crushed the evil in our hearts
We are indebted to you
With our lives and our humanity
Long may you live in the history of the world
Not the person who removed the apartheid
But the one who taught humanity to humans
