Endless possibillities...

There are times when I reflect on my life and wonder what I have achieved. Sometimes I do grow weary and want to simply withdraw. I imagine myself abandoning all that I am doing, packing a bag and hitting the road. I dream of losing myself in some nameless place where no one has any expectations for me. But then I realize that the expectations I care about the most are my own.

Laying in bed, sleepless, listening to the Miles Davis Bitch's Brew album I am reminded at the endless possibilities that still await me. The music he created bends and distorts and extends jazz in ways no one else has ever achieved. What he understood so profoundly is that we must never stop exploring those possibilities. It is not something to be taken on half-heartedly or in a dilettantish playing on the surface. We have to dig down deeply beneath our own skin to find what is inside of ourselves and to then use that to explore as much of the world as we can.
