Second Opinions

SECOND OPINIONS By Curtis Johnson It seemed so clear and plain to me that those urges for repetitive behaviors and tendencies were hard to tame. It seemed that there simply was no recourse from a life locked in “drive” on a one way street that always ended up the same. Like a loaded locomotive headed across the plains, providing no great views of mountains or rivers; there too was a longing inside of me to stop and get off this fast train. As our lives approach the setting of the sun, and the evening star appears, it seems appropriate to take a little more time to contemplate, meditate, and rearrange. I thinks perhaps it’s true that there is sometimes less to be gained from vain repetition; and sometimes, I think that second opinions are required to relieve more pain. cj012008
