If Its Good Or Not...

Sometimes while I am out and about it seems that some sort of scene filled with disparity is presented and the drive to photograph it is very strong. Even with just a short jot to the friendly neighborhood overpriced corner store there is, sadly to say, just about always something sad to be seen.

This is about a feeling that will come in waves to the top of my consciousness from time to time and today the energy that these feelings ride is a concept that is two edged. Finding contentment and always wanting better.

The name for this photo was first going to be "Home Alone" but didn't quite feel correct on many levels. Not everyone living on the street in our world are crazy. Not everyone living on the street in out world are on drugs. Not everyone living on the street in our world thinks that there is anything better, and not everyone living on the street in our world had that as a destination in his or her high school year book! I say this because for all the reasons mentioned I found myself living on the street in our world.

So many complain because so little of the people having so much of the things that make life a good place to be while so many others have hardly anything at all. But the ones that have nothing seem not even to have a real voice in this debate. Because I really don't care what you are going through when you have a home even if its good or not. Nothing says bad-off like holding a hand full of nothing...!

For me... finding balance between contentment and aways wanting better is kept in check each and every time I leave my home to spend some form of money at the store and come to know that my life is quite good all in all when I walk by another human living life out in the wide open invisibly! (More on this later!) To dream is wonderful but to be content is a blessing for sure! So working for my dreams I find myself always giving thanks for all the contentment in my life now!
