Silent Partner

More and more it seems that people are only interested in finding silent partners. One who will contribute from a remote location but will otherwise keep their hands off of the day to day happenings. I can't help but question their motives, and ultimately it's difficult for me to understand how they can sit back and not ask questions.

I personally have a much more hands on approach. I want to understand the inner workings of the machine and I actually want get my hands dirty! Life is for living; and learning. My interest in understanding inspires me to pull things apart and put my fingers on the parts that are never seen, but are integral to the process. I want to split open the casing and experience all of the simple complexities that move things forward.

Monetarily I can understand the value of having a reserved investment. But even still I'm compelled to pop the hood and figure out how and why it all works. There is something hidden, something behind the scenes. Something that is ever-present but is lost in the sea of mechanics and circuitry. I'm on an eternal mission to seek out this something, and make it my own. I will put it in a cloudy Mason jar and set it on my work bench next to all of the other pieces that I couldn't put back together.
