13

Why do buildings all skip the thirtieth floor? It’s as if by not having it as an option in the elevator buttons some how denies the fact we've skipped a number along the way in the ascending count. I guess the mere idea of it, i.e. the thirtieth floor, not being an option we automatically accept it as fact when in an elevator the lack of  “the  thirteenth floor” on your way up through the building. 

What else do we automatically accept as not being an option or not existing in our lives?

Should we just skip that number completely, uniformly throughout life? 
Not suffering from triskaidekaphobia I could care less I’m just saying.... what about that part that sees the unseen? Those other  "the thirtieth floors" what exists in a pre-programed automatic blur we may catch and  we then see and and where does that take you?
In seeing the unseen like the thirtieth floorr we open the playing field of life to a whole new level. 
I get it now, I like it, feels new yet familiar and its where I will say are flowing
  
But getting back to concrete thoughts, literarily, am I to believe that these men of higher intellect, mental stamina and of the capacity of such creativity capable of constructing this massive building really believed a “thirteenth floor” would some how do so harm to my apartment building? Seriously?. 

So, look to the unseen.
When we look that which is unseen a new path unfolds

At least that's how it seems to be happening for me lately and I AM grateful. When we can walk on an unseen path we travel in faith. There is faith in the movement (energy) into the direction of not known. It has yet to be seen by us before, an option not given like the thirteenth floor, for some reason, but its there.
Yet in faith some how things appear, happen connect, because you have detached yourself from the outcome (that some reason) and you have faith - all that comes your way is for your wonder, enjoyment, learning, expansion, so you move with detachment doing the best that you can happily and with gratitude, because it's all good.

Freeing from attachments, free of outcomes, we do our best just because it has come to you, you NOW know that these paths/challenges are the dealing/issues we have created  that you are liking and enjoying, you are learning from them, you’re expanding from it, you do so that now in gratitude we deal with them, for it and for you, because you are doing it in faith.
The people met and dealt with all fall into their own spaces, we are learning from all of it through our child like glasses so such schools of life’s learning I AM “attending” are so wonderful and fun.

On the list of great connections ever made, on the top of my list is the name ROSS. 
When you walk along the unseen you find very special people such as Ross. I will just say that the feeling of “OMG I can’t believe it  but I AM so grateful that your 30 years of photography/engineering/cooking/investor/ artist/ enlightened/talented/wow OH MY GAWD mastery of it would be so kind as to help moi?!” yeah like wow! That’s just amazing….a thirtieth floor!

A hottie and a hot art director – same guy- edited the final images to 9 so THANK YOU sooo much Damion. 
And then there’s Nikko… wow man once again to the table with really good new ideas.
