As artists, we must learn to express emotion at the right time, on the occasions where we need it to communicate a genuine point. We can't waste it on every given chance...

Uncharted Territory

Reading my monthly forecast, I wonder. If we are not attuned with our own spirit indwelling can forecasts, astrological predictions, whatever we might call it...can they even
apply? Do we have a chance at the possible outcomes they suggest if we make no effort to gain knowledge of what might occur?

Sometimes, its just easier to know what's up. Not necessarily because you are sure in the end
it will happen as it says, but because you're then more easily able to flow with it, or rather, towards the direction of it. Towards the direction something that sounds good, likely, possible. Away from that which does not.

Sometimes the possibility of something is enough to entice you towards it.
We can more easily than we think draw to ourselves objects of our desire. Create encounters perhaps intended by destiny. It does not necessarily mean we are writing the end, but the stage can be set for the spectacular to occur...Where you are face to face with some thing, some one
that may spark the flame.

There is always a light. It is what compels you to chart a course. There is no guarantee you will reach your destination. But if you can just position yourself in a place where if the wind comes, you can catch it, the chances are higher you may reach your destination.
That is the essence of adventure.
The only certainty is adventure itself.
And outcomes? Well...whatever will be, will be.

I think of legends of old and modern day. Explorers who did not travel blindly. Who used the stars as guides. Who could smell the earth and tell if rain comes, and where fertile ground lay waiting. Who trusted adventure. That forces of nature would come yet not destroy
their vessels.
