It seems calm and quiet. <br/> A shadow appears and points down towards my feet, and I begin digging. A box was a few inches under the soil. I open the box and find a note. <br/> I read the note, place it back in the box and return it under the soil where it belonged. Then I begin walking towards the setting sun.</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50258141790http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50258141790Sun, 12 May 2013 10:15:18 -0400<p>People who fly have a different view of the world than those who spend their lives on the ground. A very wise man once wrote a poem while he was flying, and he called this poem &#8220;The God&#8217;s Eye View,&#8221; and he said that this view was entirely different than the view he always had on the ground, which he called &#8220;The Bug&#8217;s Eye View.&#8221;</p> <p>Out there, somewhere, in the air we fly through, exists an old Persian legend much like this poem about a bug who spent his entire life in the world&#8217;s most beautifully designed Persian rug. All the bug ever saw in his lifetime were his problems. They stood up all around him. He couldn&#8217;t see over the top of them, and he had to fight his way through these tufts of wool in the rug to find the crumbs that people had spilled on the rug. And the tragedy of the story of the bug in the rug was this: that he lived and he died in the world&#8217;s most beautifully designed rug, but he never once knew that he spent his life inside something which had a pattern. Even if he, this bug, had even once gotten above the rug so that he could have seen all of it, he would have discovered something - that the very things he called his problems were a part of the pattern.</p> <p>Have you ever felt like that bug in the rug? That you are so surrounded by your problems that you can&#8217;t see any pattern to the world in which you live? Have you heard anybody say lately that the world is a total mess? That, my friends, is the Bug&#8217;s Eye View, and seeing only a little of the world, me might be inclined to think that this is true.</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50258077201http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50258077201Sun, 12 May 2013 10:14:10 -0400<p>The Doors.</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50253704658http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50253704658Sun, 12 May 2013 08:50:11 -0400<p>I have come back to this blog after a while to begin tumblr again, after getting bogged down in bullshit again.</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50252070748http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50252070748Sun, 12 May 2013 08:12:25 -0400<p>Restart.</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50244304949http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/50244304949Sun, 12 May 2013 06:13:33 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4do4gq9mr1qb4lmho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/23490336880http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/23490336880Mon, 21 May 2012 14:34:27 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzp91azLAS1r1vvzio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://skyscraper.tumblr.com/post/23106942856/manhattan-hdr-sunset-via-new-yorkcity-500px-com" class="tumblr_blog">skyscraper</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Manhattan HDR sunset</p> <p>via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.new-yorkcity.co/post/17949793384/manhattan-click-through-for-a-larger-version">new-yorkcity</a>: <span class="source_url" id="source_url_17952870704"></span><a href="http://500px.com/photo/2945124">500px.com</a></p></blockquote>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/23111801669http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/23111801669Tue, 15 May 2012 14:03:31 -0400<p>I need a change, boredom is creeping in and I hate being bored.</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/22379980774http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/22379980774Fri, 04 May 2012 08:55:24 -0400<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XyuuDky0Vy8?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/21991095267http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/21991095267Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:16:04 -0400<p>So it goes&#8230;</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/21990872482http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/21990872482Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:12:37 -0400<p>Days go on and on&#8230;</p>http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/21902565175http://craigmathewriding.tumblr.com/post/21902565175Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:03:20 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m33ah8fgxf1r9nb2jo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Sometimes it’s good to go back to the beginning and start from scratch.
