To You - A Poem by Garrett Dailey

To be free at last, at once,in mind and body, and in soul,To rise above the pavement, cracked,out from the pit, that darkest hole...

In The Desert, Ch. IV

When I last left off, I was trying to figure out how to get to Las Vegas with a comically small amount of money. Fortunately, my wonderful aunt sent me a very thoughtful card with a very practical amount of gas money in it, because she’s a saint. With nothing holding me back, I was ready to head south Tuesday after work. It’s about a six-and-a-half hour drive from my hill to the house of my cousins in Henderson, NV, so after a stop for gas I hit the road.

In The Desert, Ch. III

After I finished writing last week, I went to Lowes for two reasons. The first is that it was the only place that was open at 8:00 in the morning on a Thursday. The second was in order to find a shovel. I was down to about $40 at this point, but after the events of the night before, I figured a $5 shovel would be a worthy investment, if only for my sanity.

In The Desert, Ch. II

When I last left off, I had just started orientation for Tesla. Due to certain confidentiality agreements, I have to be very careful about what I tell you. That being said, this is what you need to know:

In The Desert, Ch. I

I recently moved to Reno, Nevada to start working at the Tesla Gigafactory (it’s worth a Google.) It was a seventeen hour drive from where I had been living in Pueblo, Colorado, although it didn’t feel that long. On the way, I passed through Salt Lake City and learned that there is, in fact, a lake there. I don’t know, I had always thought that it was just salt. Go figure.

Who Is The Master Of Your Fate?

Imagine you’ve had the worst week of your life. Your car broke down, you’ve been laid off at work, and you aren’t going to be able to make the rent for the third time in a row. To top it all off, your significant other has been cheating on you. Not a great time to be you, right?What would you do in this situation?

Understanding and the Self

We can only understand others to the extent and in the way that we understand ourselves.This is the law of true empathy.Through self-reflection, self-study, and self-improvement, our eyes are opened to the the struggles of others- because we face, or have faced, these same struggles personally.

Beginning the Journey of Self Mastery

As a wise man once said, “Truth is a pathless land.” There is no clear trail, the signs are fallen, and the landmarks are few and far between. However, there is no other road by which to reach the destination, and even those who have been there can only take you so far. The voyage belongs solely to the Seeker. The prize can only be claimed alone.
