As I work day to day, trying to whip up money for who the fuck knows what, I constantly find myself wondering, "What's next? Where do I go from here?" I accomplished all of those things which originally compelled me to take off...What do I do now?
Last night, as I stood in the middle of a dance circle and toked up before the fireworks began here in my hometown of Columbus, OH...it struck.
The plan is simple!
Pursue that which makes you go to sleep and awaken with the kind of smile that touches the spirit's eyes. I love traveling, creating music, writing & lexical necromancy, weed, photography, dancing, singing, good vibes, good people, dank ass food, long walks on the interstate trying to give as many people as possible a thumbs up for existing & hoping one gives me a thumbs up back in the form of a ride, six packs of local beer on the peaks of local mountains, and a whole lot of other things, too.
So...
Instead of making things complicated and trying to figure out what specifically to pursue in lieu of all the other awesome shit & stressing out about how many things I wanna do with only a single life to pursue it all...why not just shut the fuck up...and pursue it all?
Because there's a certain kind of liberty you discover on the road. A rare kind of freedom that empowers you to completely and wholeheartedly live out & exude all those beautifully ridiculous things which make you...
You.
And I'm not gonna lie...I kindaaaaa wanna tango (The horizontal kind?? ;D ) with that liberty in its most realized and actualized form for a little while, now that I've had the pleasure of getting to know her.
On the previous little adventure, I definitely learned a thing or two about who "I"...Am. This time around, I'd love to totally dissolve that sense of ego, step back from myself for a bit, and just see what the hell happens when I let me...do me.
From time to time...I'm struck with a kind of "vision" -- a glimpse into a not so distant day where everything just kinda sorta went my way. This vision included vague silhouettes of...people. Starkly different from the last go-around, where the single focus was that of spiritual healing and recovery; remembering what it means to be me.
And I can say with an unwavering kind of confidence that I managed to find the cure to all those nasty spiritual ailments that I faced upon that first departure. Completely detached from that "higher self" that's actually the "self" that connects us all...with the troubles & the woes of the world feasting upon my soul and yet somehow -- miraculously so -- I've been cured.
And...
I dunno...
Seems I've got that "love thy self" business all taken care of. It's time I learn to extend that EXACT kind of love unto the world around me.
Not gonna lie...
The thought of an uninhibited self collaborating with a completely rejuvenated spirit for a little one-two step with the rest of the world...
And the thought of releasing such an altruistic kinda maelstrom upon the world...
Shit, I'm feeling childishly mischievous, of all things! I feel like I totally just let loose a snowball and I can already SENSE, from the moment it left the hand, that it's gonna make a direct connection with the back of the sheriff's noggin, and all the junk in my trunk is about to hit the goddamn fan LOL TAKE COVEEERRRR. An eager anticipation resides deep within to see just what kind of shenanigans this meatbag gets itself into by answering the whims and whisperings of a spirit that's kinda sorta a jackass.
Partially concerned,
But overwhelmingly much more enthralled.
I'll shut up now.
