Loving My Past

I heard it said "You  cannot relive the past"     Once something happens that moment is complete.
But these guys were talking about "what if anything about your past would you change or would you?"  This was part of a discussion that stemmed from a reading in Color of Light.

Most of agreed, we may not be at the exact place we wanted to be or since I prefer I statements "I am not where I thought I'd be in life, I can say I'm ok if not downright pleased. 


It's good know my story, my life journey and the pitfalls and the mountain tops.

I've had rich experiences that make up whom I am today. Climbing mountains in Cimarron New Mexico, working in Kenya.  Riding my bicycle trough a  cloud in Alaska are only a few of the joys I've known on this path.   Had I not been HIV positive I know I'd never do those things, felt that awe or such

I'm not looking back but embracing my life: there's a brilliant future ahead and a past I adore

Nike

For my USA friends who follow news I'm guessing your aware of the "Nike Controversy"

Basically Nike corporation has advertising using Collin Kaepernick using a phrase"Believe in something even it means sacrifice"    Despite what others say or write, by affirming is idea of protesting he's lost the opportunity to play football professionally.  

Whether you agree or not he's making a bold statement.  I've done that to when I don't say with shame I am not only gay/queer but someone with HIV whose in recovery.  

What statement do you take to be bold about?  Just do it
