Seeds are being planted, but the harvest is way off in the distance. Gotta survive the season first, plot out how the yield will be rationed off & see what (if anything) can be done with the land afterwards...
All things in due time.

A great man once said that "not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it is faced". Regrets cannot fix a damn thing, they can only inform the next step.
Remember, family, for better AND worse...

I've let some fairly irrational fears hold me back from doing things I love. Recently, I acquired what was necessary to help satiate my wanderlust. All roads may lead me to the same place, but the wind will send me on my way once more.

Something that doesn't come up when talking about survival...
You outlive things.
Which means you can be aware of them dying. The sad part being that said demise won't always be painless and/or dignified. You get to live with that.

For the record, I'm not coming at anyone who makes Burton's #TNBC their personality, but we are *NOT* about to act like this song didn't earn its seat at the proverbial table of Halloween bangers... you can miss me with that noise.

This... this right here was the moment. Once the words "Wu-Tang Clan" got swapped out for "New York Knicks", real ones knew what it was & damn sure knew what it was about to be. Far as I'm concerned, the Wu deserve rings themselves.

Why bother dedicating so much of yourself to something you neither care for nor have any intention of engaging with? There are ‐SO MANY‐ different things that demand your attention... all that energy would be better served elsewhere.

As time rolls on, it becomes more & more difficult to even imagine that "light at the end of the tunnel". Keeping the proverbial faith can be a challenge. Perhaps things may turn around, but that seems... unlikely. Even contradictory.

As the son of a preacher, been hearing a lotta people go on & on with that quote from the book of James lately, but my cynicism prevents me from rolling holy. That being said, let me tell you plain:
Time spent wishing is time wasted.

I got it!
I always tell people that music is my "second language", so I'll offer up my #MMM Playlists.
If you hear something you like, lemme know.

Many great things seem to lie just over the horizon... but if you ain't "in the fold", you're out in the cold. Seems to be a nice chill in the air, so I'm just gonna kick back & enjoy the show.
(The cold never bothered me, anyways.)

Wasn't planning to deal with another one of these so soon. Alas, this is what happens when you live in part of the country that they name a type of storm after. Change of scenery would be real nice right about now, don't you agree?

I'm not against anyone trying new things. Or even doing something they're good at in a new way. However, there needs to be some visible effort. Do what you like, but at least try to rise to the occasion when it's time to step up...

I'm no psychic, but over the weekend, I saw a glimpse of one possible future. For the first time in a good long while, that gives me hope...
It'll come to pass, my friend, you just have to put in the work & take your time.

As I look back on another year gone by, I count myself lucky to have been among so many good people. I, as a person, am informed by their presence in my life. My only wish would be their ongoing joy... even if I'm not around to see it.

"Old" and "new" are opposites, but they are not in opposition. They are the parentheses within which adaptation, creativity, improvisation & innovation reside. Understanding that space between can help lead to many great things...

By definition, if you are not moving forward, then you're either standing in place or moving backwards. While stagnation/stasis could (haphazardly) prove beneficial, I have always found regression the more unpleasant of the two...

So here I stand, parallel to the aforementioned abyss (from last week's #MMM selection)... no apprehension, no confusion, no introspection.
Just resolute focus & a mission statement:
"I'm here, deal with it or make a move."

"The secret to every great lie is it has to run parallel to the truth."
You can watch whatever's in front of you, but you'll only ever see what you choose to look at... it would appear that a LOT of people never learned this lesson.

We are creatures of habit, plain & simple. One can vary the routine however they like, but you'll likely end up where you started. Don't be deterred. Simply take what you learned last trip, apply it to the next and see what happens.
