Creating a norm is a clever trick. It develops a standard ledge that should be carefully walked by anyone who is in the efforts of pulling the static from the dream. (Written with the dreamer in mind.) How does a system prey upon the dreamer? Oh, in so many ways… What is to be done, then? Well, to take a look at the system, we need first to extract some visions. Social platforms come with an idea (again for the […]
Being overwhelmed and having a mind without rest is as much a teleportation of life across the great expanses of time as is sleep. Perhaps, not as enjoyable, though. One day, we sit up and this sort of awakeness develops. We become aware of the month, the day, the year, and then consider how quickly it had gone. Something that is almost like a reflection occurs and we attempt to chart the course and the reward. But, what happens next? […]
Sample size. What is the sample size of your population? It is usually pretty small, and, although we must use it to the best of our ability to determine certain life things, it cannot describe the majority. It does so ever more poorly the more we try to force it as the global explanatory device. It begins to make sense how other people can think in so many different ways. Their environments are different. Experiences are different. Foods, habits, friends, […]
This is one of those words that, when first heard, suggests a place of refuge, retreat, and safety, but immediately we begin to dig into the complexity of it as being something more. My life at home is physically cold. I live in an actual near-cave, so that probably has a lot to do with that, but it is shelter. It can get almost warm on the most brutal of days, but I’m never looking in the window’s reflection without […]
To look back over a short interval of time suggests something similar to an eternity has past. What madness it this I wonder? The time has indeed gone quickly on tour, but to feel as though the beginning was years ago and coupling that with the rapidity of the journey, some strange conflicts of perception permeate the mind’s connections to reality. We are speeding ever more into the next moments. Inside these moments we develop expectations, hopes, fulfillments of what […]
Having been partitioned from the whole mass of all potential – this being not an absolute but a relevant trajectory of focussed efforts – I have known before community. Once again I know the essence and physical boundaries of a ‘new’ community. It is a brotherhood – a band-hood. We move through the motions of learning behavioral patterns, intentions, skills, language, and proximities as we work our way across the country to perform our talents and dream-minded hopes of music […]
