there will always be moments and distinctly unique situations of 'before-and-after.'
the ones about your school work, those ones about getting an epiphany at 3am in the morning about your life, one about the path to your first victory of your first love, and the one about the one about the way you picked yourself up after the end of your first love.
there will always be these moments. in droves they'll occur, and even without you noticing it, it is happening as you read this. yes, you actually are finding yourself in one or more peculiarly specific transitional moments right now. and isn't that amazing?

i know i've been away for a little while, but did we all collapse and wallow? did the earth stop spinning, did you not get your fix some other ingenious way?
everyone would like to think that the things they say, the lines they write, and the actions and work you do will speak volumes and volumes, amassing countless regarders and the like to, what could very well be in the end, your life's materworks.
and maybe that will exist later. and maybe this is it existing at it's apex right now. and are you okay with how vague and blithely surreal it all is?
i've had beautiful dreams the past few days, fueled by less sleep than i'd like, and my heart full to the brim with hopes and desires, with dreamery and creamery, with verve, with blood pumping madly furiously without respite, and with a top-spinning boiling creativity bristling with electricity. it is sort of amazing.

i know i promised this year, to all four of you now reading, that i'd try my best to share one photograph a day with the universe at large. and i do intend to keep that challenge vibrant and true. but please bear with the fact that i'm three days back to the states from an amazing vacay, and i've only now finished the first two days photos out of a total of 1905 individual documents of digital imagery.
my brain. my heart. my body. my eventual and profoundly present life.
it's happening right now, and there's nothing you can do to slow it's course. we're undoubtedly moving forward.
until i get it all organized, could we please have a little more of this:
thank you.

Amen to that, brother.
I think the concept of all our thoughts, actions, things we say, things we create being strung together into our "life's work" is an interesting one. I kind of like to put all of those things together and then ask, "What is this story about?" Or rather, more importantly perhaps, what do I WANT this story to be about? Then, when you know what you want, you can look through that filter, and live your life accordingly, trying your best to stay true to your ultimate desires/goals/dreams. I think if you can boil it down to one concise statement, even better. You can just check in with yourself real quick, and it can help keep you on track to pleasing yourself on a deeper, more significant level.
