In the quest of the “Threes” one is removed and two more are placed on top. The never ending “Three Pursuit” can lead to glorious, yet sometimes perplexing revelations as the personal and societal navigations open more than a can of worms.

When do you think about time/space/inner space/outer space and given space? We each inhabit many different times and spaces in a given time period. The space we take up is either used for good or some other descriptive word/phrase. Today just may be the day to improve the time/space use for positive and long lasting paying forward.

As the wind worked its way through the desert environment, every loose tumbleweed from the west migrated towards the east in a quick hurry. As the daylight came to pass, the people saw the journey marks made by the weed as they slid over the dry earth. It would seem that all of nature has its own way of making its mark. Its too bad humans can’t leave better (we were here) marks. Let’s try again, huh?

Trial Balloons with the ReDSkY, oh yeah, sailors’ delight. The red sky shielded one of the trial balloons, thus in the area of floating a concept, one idea was lost to the elements.

What’s in your mental and verbal, blown up – trial balloon?
