a nice cottagey part of my company
is that many of us write songs
we record them
and share them
and we all give each other a heart emogi
and listen - once maybe twice
and that’s good
i believe that we all have the music in us
and it manifests in strange ways
plumbing
songwriting
gardening
it all adds to purpose
as far as attaching commerce to anything artistic
it can be done
but it’s rare
sure it’s the big corporates throwing
heroes up the pop chart
but the cream always rises:
sarah spring
i’ve met her a few times
she records solo piano
real boutique music
she’s getting millions of plays!
millions!
hobbies
you gotta have hobbies
my attention span is fried
i’ve seen all the plot lines
tv shows and movies elude me
instead
i do all kinds of things
like a lot of things
i have to keep moving
quietly i’m scared that i’m living too much
and using up years
my buddy rob
he lives a good life
spends winters in south and central america
him and wife bopping around
they learned to speak spanish
they become friendly with the neighbors
husband and wife - both doctors
and they shared that in El Salvador:
no one ever shows up in the ER for a heart attack
it’s strictly a north american thing
(also - they put honey on cuts)
i don’t know where i’m going with this
except to say
avoid stress
bravely run away from it
stay golden pony boy
to thine own self be true
prepare for contentment
just keep at it
