bucket seat life

funny how discussions in cars, can be life changing, what is about leather seats, confining space, potential for danger, ability to escape, speakers and a stickshift that inspire proposals, freedom, depression, private conversations, affection, pondering and a sense of home. not unusual experience, today i was inspired to have a revelation. not necessarily about the world, in fact quite the opposite, it was as if today i realized everything the world already knew. my beliefs could be considered unique and demanding of strength. however, sometimes this presents a double contradiction within myself. contradiction of what i take pride and acceptance in, yet still a desire to be open-minded. i didn't think i had fear, i didn't think i cared. but being open-minded doesn't mean spineless or valueless. in fact doesn't take the same character to accept as it does to believe. it all comes down to respect and value. i can't pretend that i am figuring it all out. i dont' need to, its already been done for me and on good authority. with love and refreshing consistancy i can stand a little taller.
