What a year this day has been

I was talking with my dearest friend Chris yesterday after he read me this amazing poem he’s been working on, and we were just going back in forth about how things were and how they are now. When I was in high school, I found frustration in the unknown questions that continued to travel through my head. Why this? Why now? How does this happen this way? Who are you to intervene? The questions always came and the answers were never concrete. It made me believe absolutely nothing and trust absolutely no one. But I had it all wrong for so long. The unanswered questions are what keep us alive. They’re proof that we’re changing, growing, building. Chris put it perfectly: he said, questions aren’t always meant for answers. Sometimes they’re meant for more questions. It really tied up my roadieship because if there is one thing I know I learned it’s to always ask. If you never ask, the answer is already no. But even more than just no. If you never ask, you’ll never change. You’ll never figure out just exactly what you want. I always ask my dad what he wants in life, and he’s still deciding. That’s the best part about life. You really don’t have to decide what you want, you just have to be. And that, wonderful humans, is exactly why you should never stop questioning.

This just makes sense right now. We were made to set things off in the world. Not just in the world, though, in ourselves too. Those bombs that go off shake us up, change us, make us grow. So listen to this. This band is wonderful, and I’ve had the opportunity to hang with them a bit this past week which makes them even more amazing to me. Enjoy!

It’s over. Tour is over. We’re done and I’m ambivalent. I’m tired but restless. I’m progressing forward but feeling nostalgic. I’m clinging to every moment I have, but I’m gently letting go of what was. Because whether I want to or not, I must move forward. Life has required that I keep walking the path that was laid before my feet. So I’ll do just that. I may be stubborn at first, but I’ll do it. Because if it were up to me, I’d fight the clock. I’d argue with it and tell it to slow down. But the world won’t stop for me, as it shouldn’t. I’m fortunate to have a an army of friends that are experiencing this with me. I’m blessed because I’m not alone, and like Noah and the Whale once said, “I’d give it all back just to do it again”. I would, folks. I so would. 

Probably not, but I’m sure it’d be good. Being a full time volunteer doesn’t really allow for things like that.
