thanksgiving weak..

as I sit here and reflect on my life and how much has changed over the last few years. how I wouldn't even recognize the me I was just five years ago. other than how I look, I'm a whole different person. whether that's for the better or worse is hard to say at the moment. at the moment it feels a little of both with the ratio of better to same being 30/70.
fractions are fun. it's but a fraction of time that tends to separate us from where we are and where we want to be. my question is this:
where do I want to be? I've asked that question so many times. the answer has yet to come. or at least it hasn't fully come. I have small moments of "this is the place" or "here is home" but those are merely fractions of the answer. I'll ask you to forgive the poor math analogy for a second and think about it this way.

we are always restless because we are animals. we are wild animals and it's when we are tamed that we start asking ourselves "where do I want be?" but how do we stay free and still find our place in this life? the answer isn't a simple one I suppose,and from what I can tell so far, it won't come to us in a complete package. instead I think we have to collect the little answers and moments we do find until we can put them together as one big moment of clarity. those answers, those tiny fractions, those small but significant tidbits of wisdom. they all come from the same place. I think when I finally do piece them all together...
it'll be in that place.
                                            my place...
