Simple-

After another failed endeavour overseas, before I was even given a chance to play, I am once again returning home. Such an outcome only confirms these times. And in these times, lofty goals and dreams may seem out of reach if not entirely foolish.

In these times I have to realize I must cut my losses, and I have to accept that I do not get to have my home in the Teton Valley. Nor a home in the Mission Valley on the Flathead. Not many people do. And who am I to think I am entitled to anymore than the next?

And in these times, we can fight and resist, and bring more pain. Or we can accept and surrender, and flow. All we can do is flow. All we can do is accept the simple things. For we know that is where the true happiness lies- in the little and simple.

Simple is good. Sure, I have to start over, after bad, even foolish investments. But I tried. At least I can say that. I have no regrets for trying. But the stars do not align, and there is nothing I can do, but accept and flow. And so I come home once more beaten, this time starting all over again. Maybe moving into an apartment with my friend, downgrading and downsizing my possessions and even my lofty dreams. But that does not mean I give up or quit. No. It only means I surrender. And I flow. It is what it is, and that is all we can do, and all we can ask for.

But I will still have my memories.

And I will still have my dog.

And I will still have One Tree Hill.

Simple is good.
