No way to go I am just in a cage. Have no way to go. I leave no trace of wings in the air, but I am glad I have had my flight. ---- Rabindranath Tagore |

I recently had a surgery, and at each point I found many aspects that I have to deal with, I continue to search and seek out means for improving the resulting impacts. At some point I will make a post about it, and hopefully many can learn a great deal, it is beneficial information for men and women alike. but as with living, I've gone through many things and many challenges, even with the acts of very progressive contribution, I've seen them ripped off, I've encountered contempt at the mere fact of being self invested and competent to continue progressing, which brought resentments and push backs of every sort. I've been offered leadership positions and had them derailed by people in higher HR roles, whom one would never expect to do such. I've had legal determination which ruled in my favor, only to see attorneys botch the case, as well as attorneys take claim for research work I did myself. Of these things, they have cost me very large sums of money in direct loss and the loss of the possible gain from cases when were slated by stated from Federal Agency to state, that it was a win for me. Life continually pose issues and challenges, they will never cease to be something we have to deal with and then within doing so, there will always be adjustments we have to make. What I have found, is the fact that through it all, we have to remain in ourselves with a sense of thankfulness for living as far and long as we have. We don't know what the future holds, nor can we even began to stake any claims of it being any particular way. It comes as it comes. this does not mean we give up on anything and just ride the tide of the unknown, We still have to focus on what we can do, and then make efforts in doing it as best we can, under what ever conditions we are confronted with. In the full of it, at least for me, I continue to Pray and be thankful to God for the gift of life and the ability to live with the capability and functional mobility and mental abilities which I'm fortunate to have. I was at the Hospital a few days ago, one I had to drive nearly 500 miles round trip, to deal with what is my next step and process. I don't like it, but I have a choice. to do as recommended, or to wait it out and hope for the best, both scenarios have risk factors. What I did see during these trips, was how many people have not only the same issues, but many people who have far more grave challenges. I saw people, with no arms, some with no legs, some with disfigured faces and bodies, and many other things some of which I can't begin to grasp what they may be dealing with. I watch daily people who are at extreme levels of obesity, where they can barely move without a dire struggle in doing so. All these things are real. Then I see small children with issue that are unthinkable as being anything anyone would wish upon another. I've seen where people go through their life and graduate and some even find the jobs of their dreams, and never make it to the first day of work. I watch elderly people, whom many put on the best of a smiling face as they can, but we have very limited awareness of what they deal with and what it takes for them to get up daily and prepare themselves as best they can to put on as happy face as they can. I see people who live in places that would not be livable under city or state building codes, and some live in barren locations, some homeless with no place to live. Last week, I saw on the side of our office building, someone had made their home behind the hedges, with blankets and what ever they could gather to try and stay warm and safe to make it from one night to the next. We see people who amass a great deal of wealth, who may result to die of accident or injury or come down with a terminal condition. Life is filled with many things, what we have is the ability to appreciate the nature of health if we have it, the capacity to love if we only let go of craziness and utilize it. there are people who make all sorts of games and delusional criteria about sex, and waste away their time which they might enjoy it, when there are people who have a life long inability to even engage sex, and for some it becomes a matter where they may have never had the option or opportunity to have sex, before some calamity befalls them and their lives or their lives are no more, never having experienced the beauty and pleasure of sex. Sometimes when we see no way to go, it may be to go within and think, give praise and thanks for our life and living, that we can settle in our mind and allow ourselves the ability to better grasp our situations and make our creative plans to seek to find pathways which can give us options and opportunities to make changes, while keeping our will strong in being able to act and engage the options and opportunities to push forward for change.

We sometimes move from one cage to another, in our continual search for what is freedom. But we continue to find, responsibility is the only pathway into freedom, and thus it remains always a task to be undertaken. We sometimes feel we are in ruts, but as we work our way out, only then do we grasp how much were learned during our time in the depths of deeper discovery of and about self. Generally, when one has compassion as a strong element within their character, they may be driven to see the framing of cages more vividly than those without a focus on compassion's, but as always the truth, how we face it and how we embrace it brings us many levels of freeness, to move ahead and embrace even broader responsibilities.
