The Rainbow Man

The Rainbow man stands out in our society.
He sees life as if it were a never ending rainbow.
He sees the different shades of the rainbow as if they were a metaphor; Whereas society only sees the rainbow.
The Rainbow man dresses differently than everyone else.
He speaks differently, acts differently and dreams the unimaginable.
Society sees him as an outcast; a rebel.
Children come up to him and ask "Why do you look so different from everyone else?"
He says to them "Well because I'm like a rainbow. I see life in different layers. I see some red. I see some blue. I also see a mixture of the two colors; purple. At the end of the day though all I am trying to be is myself; not who society wants me to be. This will mean I'll be an outcast in society. However, as long as I remain true to myself that's all that will really ever matter."

Since the beginning of mankind we've always faced conflict.
Whether it's from sickness or from war, we've always been on the brink of a disaster.
We've always been searching for answers to our problems.
We've looked far and wide, left and right.
However we often fall short of a permanent solution.
The solution to our problems comes with knowledge.
One may ask were this knowledge comes from.
I believe that all knowledge comes from within.
All knowledge that we'll ever need to know is already stored in our minds.
We just have to utilize the right tools to unlock that knowledge.
As for example, when we're trying to learn something new the concepts might not always sink in at first.
In time these concept will start making more sense.
Learning is a stepping stone for unlocking this knowledge.
More importantly though is our imagination.
Imagination is what makes us realize our potential and allows us to think outside the box.
Learning gives us the tools to unlock further knowledge.
Imagination is what makes it all possible.
Our imagination is just one big maze.
It has twists and it has turns but at the end of the day it leads us to unlocking the knowledge that comes from within.

Where Greatness Truly Lies

The man who is in search of greatness is looking too hard.
If he just opens his eyes he will find where the greatness truly lies.
Greatness doesn't come from the stars or the skies.
It comes from a place where it matters the most; the heart.

An Endless Summer

Time where has it gone? 
It flys by faster than we want it to. 
Time is what makes us envious for those special moments in life.
The moments were you can kick back and relax.
The moments were you watch as the sun rises and sets each morning.
The moments were you excite your taste buds with exquisite foods. 
The moments were you can truly release yourself and not ever have a worry in the world.

Limitless Boundaries

The first time that I began running long distances was in my freshman year in high school.
It was in my freshman year that I realized my passion for running. 
Since then I've always been an avid runner.
When I run I never like having one set destination.
I always run for the joy of running, never for competition. 
When I run I feel as if I am on top of the world.
Running never feels like a struggle.
Distance doesn't matter because when I am running I feel as if can run forever.
Seconds become minutes and minutes become hours and before I know it I'll have ran farther than I ever thought I could.

Today at sunset, I ran along the Marginal way which is a pathway along the coast.
Out of all of the runs that I've ever ran, this run had to be the most exhilarating.
I ran faster today than I've ever run before.
Each step was as light as a feather and as I continued to run my boundaries became limitless.
There is this sense of tranquility and oneness with the world that it creates.
Never have I felt so exhilarated when running.
Tomorrow I'm going on another run along the coast.
Who knows where my boundaries will take me.
All I do know is that it's up to me to define them.
