memories are like rivers,
they don’t stop changing."

This, a barefoot year. This a year of loose pants and hooded sweatshirts, this a year of boots lonely and left waiting in front halls and back closets, this a year of untouched luggage. I miss my boots, miss the ground they tread upon, I miss the laces and the pulling snug, miss the smell of leather when scented with Scottish rain and decaying leaves. I miss the me that filled those boots, the wanderlust and hope pulsing like blood running thick, I miss tired legs leading to worn out feet, I miss washing away a day of adventure in the shower before bed.
*
I know stillness has its virtue, I know it’s valuable too, but I’ll be damned if I don’t miss the boots, the laces, the leaves, the wander.
*
I think this is ok. I think we put too much pressure on ourselves to feel a certain way, to be positive despite the shit that life throws at us, to always find the bright side. I’m here to say, to hell with all that. Be you, experience the highs and the lows, celebrate the victories, mourn the losses, all the while understanding that the highs will come down, the lows will rise again. Nothing is permanent, least of all we.
*
Get your boots ready, for they’ll be needed again sometime soon.
*
On we pull the boots,
out and off our walking feet.
Adventure we seek.

Today’s newsletter (to entice you to join!):
*
The juice is worth the squeeze, we’re told, the destination worth the journey there. We hear these repeated ad nauseam, drilled into brain like mantra, like record broken and skipping. In the middle of the squeezing, in the center of the exhaustion from legs that just keep walking, one foot after another, we forget. We lose sight of the point, from time to time, watch it float like featherweight up and out, out and off and beyond our reach, we forget and so we sometimes stop. I am here, whispering out through simple words on some simple morning, to remind you again, to drill again that it’s worth it, it’s always been worth it, and Churchill nailed it when he said “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”
*
Fact is folks, it’ll be hell from time to time, I know this to be true and deep down, even if you try to avoid it, you do too. We gotta keep going, we gotta keep walking forward, head down into the wind, until we come out the other side. We’ll be disheveled, we’ll be worn out and exhausted in brand new ways, but we’ll be on the other side dammit, and that makes all the difference.
*
To say I’ve been through hell, lonely and miserable, is an understatement, for I have, and I kept going. All I am, all I have, all I cherish, came because I kept going, because I put my head down and pushed through. I kept going and I know now, I’d do it again.
*
Worth all the waiting,
all the heartache and sorrow.
I’d do it again.

Curious about this…how many of you cry on a daily or weekly basis? Why are some ok with tears whilst others hold them in for ages? I lost my salt almost once a day. Do you?
.
Sentimental sort,
seem to be losing my salt,
wiping it away.

Passionate guy, me. I tell stories, full of details you may call unnecessary, but to me, it’s the details that are the story. It’s the details that should be the centerpiece, and the reveal at the end should come from the way we led our listeners there. Take away the details, and the points lose their sharpness, strip away all that delicious fluff, and we’re nothing but the atoms when the space is taken away, damn near invisible and light as air.
.
I run out of air
often in the middle of
all my sentences.

A year of forced stillness and I have learned such lessons. For one, our memories change the more removed we are from the motion that made them. We look back and all things flow by, shifting like water as they do. It’s time to move again.
.
Lesson I have learned:
memories are like rivers,
they don’t stop changing.
