Reflection:

Today. was a day. and that's about all... found some clarity - searched and found some... that's for sure. Gotta get up and find the journal pages and take some pictures of them. But the main thing, the main take away is that I am going to write. I am a writer, so I am going to write. I was distracted by music, art, day job... but really, I am going to write.

Entry:

All of what happens and all of what matters comes over and through all of this... these are the things. Gotta get out... gotta get out get out get out. These things.

And now, and here, and there, these are the things. I don't want to ... I don't... and so I may or so I may not.

So much nonsense... and that is okay, that is what it is... what matters is that I write the words... that is what is important. That is what makes a difference... here there and everywhere.

////////////////

Now, here we are.

Insight:

1. Write.

Summary:

Became a writer again... no art, no music, just write... do that thing.

If there ever was a way, I'd find it.

Here.

As if I'd found a way.

In the midst of all of it.

Here and hiding in the middle of the street. I can't be found.

There I was and I am no longer in the midst of it, I can no longer be seen.

Come and find me.

Where were you going when you walked away, out through the door, away through the field into the night?

I didn't know then and I don't know now.

But it happened.

So much happens.

Over and over again, the same and different things, all crashing in, one upon another.

And the differences are such that there is always enough to be a part of it.

I didn't know what to make of any of it, and so I just continued to do what needed to be done. 

And that was all.

I'm going for it here. And why not? Why shouldn't I?

You know I will, and I will live forever doing it.

There may be places that this makes sense, and there may be places that this doesn't make sense.

I'll live in both places. Thanks.

Less is more.

Less is more.

C

You can stay quiet if you want to

Em

I’m not going to pry

Am

Everyone has a right to silence

G

No one even needs to know why

But I just wanted to tell you

If you’re afraid you don’t need to be

‘Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

Even if it doesn’t seem to be

CHORUS

          F

Keep your eyes open darling

     C

Look to the sky tonight

     Am

With timing, a long view and an end game

F                           C    F F  |  C    F F (x2)

Everything….. is gonna be alright

C

You’ve had a hard go baby

Em

No one even knows how tough

      Am

‘Cept you and God and that’s enough honey

G

No one should have it that rough

Keep smiling when you can ‘cause it’s pretty

I’ll keep my pen in my hand as I write

Tell all the demons to shut the fuck up

As you get your head right tonight
