Into the Blue

You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile

When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is worth your while.

--Emily Saliers "Watershed"

thoughts directions ideas

writing on Saturday mornings

bluegrass and Buddhism

road trips fathers daughters

the mountains the beaches

teaching life struggles and sins

time moments pain

epiphanies revelations stunned

inadequacies all over the place

isn't that what they are all saying?

its hard to live up to our ideal?

keep going anyway

Dylan a muse bucking trends

being what is. all coming together

you can somewhat see it now

something that has been poking

at you for a while -- since 2009,

right? and here you are all

these years later maybe making

sense of it. maybe. it hasn't

been out of the blue, any of this.

it's rooted and grown and you've

let the sun shine on it and

now it will reveal itself with

time and space and yes, effort.

Into the blue, this New Years Eve day.

Into the vast and amazing Blue.
