Another day…up in a plane, high in the sky flying just in between an infinite bed of soft white clouds and the blue ceiling of this planet. It seems I am always coming or going…it’s an exaggeration of course of my immediate perception of things…but my dilemma is always one of hope and anticipation of something different – somehow better. It’s a conflict I have about my life…this struggle and responsibility of being our provider – working hard to ensure exceptional results…and my connection with my wife and children – the more precious matter of my heart and soul. Caught in this contrast the tension is palpable…heavy turbulence emphasizes somethings may be hopelessly unattainable…and in the same instance magnifies my hope and the promise of it all. So if you asked me how I was doing…I would say I am doing just fine…both a lie and a truth all in the same instance, because I don’t know what else to say about a life anybody else would die for.

About Lawrence Lewis
I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
