[As the smoke rises...]
Me and a joint of White Widow.
My days and nights in Amsterdam so far had exceeded all of my expectations, while the Cannabis Cup had been largely a disappointment. My mind drifted toward my journey but instead of the incessant questions I'd initially had, now I had a ready set of answers that had been formed the day before at the Power Zone watching Tommy Chong. I'd made the journey because it was time and marijuana had absolutely nothing to do with it. It's vitally important sometimes that we question our lives and where they're at, and if we see that there's room to grow or boundaries that need to be tested, test them, don't be one of those people that's highly praised for your abilities but manages to do nothing with them. The world has very little pity for those that hide in the ordinariness of their daily lives. Seize the fucking day, hold onto it with all your might, and live it furiously for as long as you can.
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
~Harold Whitman~
