The difference between an obstacle and everything else…
is perspective.
Once you are looking at an obstacle from the other side, it becomes simply another interesting or uninteresting part of the universe.

meta
You count!
I am for you
And by "I" I mean my intellect,
my thoughts, my creative mind,
my focus on the future.I do not mean my body is for you,
because I cannot speak for her,
as my body speaks for herself,
sometimes clumsily
sometimes elegantly
sometimes weakly,
sometimes with great strength
and always most independently
and wordlessly.I also do not mean my heart is for you,
because my heart has already been bequeathed,
entrusted to her beloved DPM
for as long as she beats.So
My thoughts are for you.And by "you" I mean the world
and all it's living beings,
great and small
ugly and beautiful
simple and complex.So
My thinking is for all life.
My body is for herself.
And my heart is for my love.
