What do I need?


What do I need? Or what's the one thing I need in order to breath?

That's a tough one.

Some might pick an object, or just love and care. Others will take it logically and say lots of air.

But when I try to choose a single thing, I think "No, it's not just that one."

People can't just live with a single object. Something to nourish, value, and protect.

It's always going to be something more.

That's like asking who is your favorite friend? James or Sally-Ann.

You can't just choose one to adore.

So what keeps me alive and allows me to thrive?

Every single thing that makes me, "me."

So now I give you the deed of thinking about what you need.

Now visualize that, and what do you see?
