Boredom (thoughts)

Boredom is the desire to experience and learn,
without the ability or desire to do.

Paper cut-outs of people's arms and the Earth. Each of the pieces is wrinkled, and the arms overlap each other. The arms are cut from many different colors of paper, which is reflective of the diversity of the human race. The Earth is cut from blue and green papers.

Life is serenely complicated.
Some people try to stand out,
and by doing so hope to fit in
with others who do the same.

to be different, but I am.

different that is.

Those who do not respect others,
disrespect themselves.

A photo of six dollars and a silver pocket watch, with a white face and gold Roman numerals, sitting in sand. The image represents lost time and money.

Priorities (thoughts)

If your goal is to get ahead in the world,

when this life ends.
But if instead you work
to shape your character,
it will be a part of you
as you step into eternity.
