It seems as if we all feel stuck in our life path or with the choices we've made at some point or even periodically. Limits and boundaries of time, energy and resources surround us.

Still very much a work in progress.

My curious son is seeking answers. Every time he leaps in the air to catch his football, he lands on yet a new earth...again.
