New Moon says Go Big or Go Home
You probably won't know the difference one way or the other, but I pulled down all my old posts. The ones I had been tossing up here randomly over the past few years. With the New Moon I decided to wipe the slate clean and start over. Make a fresh commitment to the thoughts that have been rolling around in my mind to get them out of my head. Find ways to give them presence in words and pictures, moving images and sounds.
Will this fresh start be any different than the last ones. Time will tell. But this time I found someone to hold me accountable to "go big or go home". I laughed when she said that to me. It was so long ago that I stopped dreaming big dreams I doubt that I ever had one. They must have dissipated silently in the midst of the daily grind of making ends meet, or drifted elsewhere because I allowed one too many to be deferred.
There's something about spending time in pandemic lockdown with virtual human companionship that gets even a working guy like me to wondering what his place is in the Cosmos. This isn't about resurrecting old dreams. They got left behind in the before times. This is about being present - being very present in every moment. Getting comfortable with discomfort. Being in relationship with the connectedness of all things. Allowing new dreams to emerge within the spaces between thoughts. Knowing there is Life beyond the doom of the passing moment.
