On Faith.
Desert.
The far side of the desert makes me thirsty.
Thirsty for shelter.
Thirsty for refuge.
Thirsty for hope.
See, “the far side of the desert” is language early in the story of Moses and let-my-people-go in the Old Testament book of Exodus.
It’s a fascinating story fundamental to two major world religions, Judaism and Christianity.
Heavy.
Not a Midlife Crisis, but a Midlife Seize It.
This is what my girlfriend said to me over margaritas.
Did you hear that? Lemme say it louder for the beat-down Midlifers in the back.
A MIDLIFE SEIZE-IT.
See, this friend here is someone I have known since the first day of kindergarten.
King Walks.
Midlifers, it’s time to introduce you to King Walks.
King Walks are Long Walks, except my autocorrect corrects ‘Long’ to ‘King’ literally every single time I type ‘Long’, probably because I’m a sloppy typer who habitually types ‘Ling’ which all my smart devices assume means ‘King’ and not ‘Long’.
Are you still with me here?
Welcome.
Midlife is a masterpiece, and I’m here for it.
I’m here for the wide-open weekend. And also the strong Mondays.
I’m here for the road less traveled. And also the daily mundane.
I’m here for the wide, wide world. And also my safe, comfy bed.
I’m here for the fresh, new seasons. And also the same, old routine.
