Lessons I have learned the hard way

 

 

Catharsis in the woods

 

 There has been time wasted. This time had to be wasted in order to understand. To really want something you must start with nothing. The problem occurs when you decide you do want something and you have no idea what that something is.

 

There is a danger of sliding into a deep dark hole. There is a danger of wanting to get there so quickly that the mission is aborted. We can all rise up, above this.

 

I am through with all this wasting of time. I am done with the thinking about it. I believe that we all have abilities inside of us, and we need to express them.

 

Do not be a cog, taking energy, ideas and being a waste of space, no affecting change no nothing. Change happens slow, never forget Turn Around Norman, turning so slowly no one can see.

 

This is not to say that there is no true collaboration. These occur, and they are in some ways even better than a solitary art. They must be entered into cautiously. But when energies combine, we all know that beautiful explosions can occur, leaving us with a piece in time.

 

Let’s resolve to use this energy whether it be solitary or consolidated. Use it and show us the reflections of your world. Let us write songs every day Dolly Parton-style. Let us build without plans and risk the materials, We can all write, but do not be vague. Let’s be direct, let’s just say it. Get it out there.

 

Roger Miller wrote all of his lyics on scraps of paper and then he smoked the ones he did not use. Let’s smoke them. Let’s get together and scrap the ideas that aren’t going to make something. Forget about it, but keep coming around. Keep thinking of them. Do not make a circle that leads round and round. Straight up, baby, straight up.

 

26.2 Miles baby! Because we have defeated the Persians.
